No One Wants to Dress Up as a Politician This Halloween

While Christine O'Donnell and Sarah Palin costumes are usually good enough to cover half of the nation adult, no one remembers that one of these people are, and politicians that people do remember are simply too sad. Why not dress up as something happy, or at least escape, like a lady singing or a mascot car insurance?

"It was a year very much dead stuff that political will," said Sandra Dura, Backstage Manager, the emporium Capitol. "We do not really Sarah Palin. Nobody asked for it." Duraes spoke wistfully of 2008, when the Alaska governor burst onto the political scene just in time for Halloween celebrants to embrace her red suit, updo and spectacles. [...]

In 2011, however, the political gloom lies too heavily across the land, according to Ron Faucheux, a local pollster who surveyed 1,000 Americans and found that they would rather dress as Lady Gaga or the Geico Caveman than Palin or President Obama. "There's so much negativity. There's so much money. There's so much polarization that it's not something that people can step away from as easily and poke fun at," said Faucheux, who was surprised by the results.

This is great news! Now I'll have the "Slutty Buddy Roemer" market all to myself. (DON'T STEAL IT, YOU CADS.) What about the other few remaining masochists out there who are going with political Halloween costumes that aren't Mark Block? Send your dirty pics to me!
