Halloween costumes are a reflection of the zeitgeist in that moment -- Palin and McCain were the costumes on people's minds, because they are who are in the pop culture's imagination right now.
The ticket that is best represented in Halloween costumes in an election year is the ticket that has won the White House since people first started paying attention to this anecdotal barometer.
If that's true, then there's a chance this election could not even be close and McCain/Palin could absolutely TROUNCE the Democrats. We've never seen that many representations of a Republican ticket out at Halloween. Never.
The report is from - you are not going to believe this - Chicago. And you know what else they report? Not one single Obama costume. None. ∅.
Based on this obviously anecdotal report the HillBuzz guys expect a McCain/Palin blow out.
To be fair, 90 percent of the American population can't dress up as Obama. Not PC. Not PC at all.
Although I guess one could've dressed up in an expensive suit and painted half of one's face black ... the left half of course ...
