HillBuzz has this to say about their Halloween Report.
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 …
Imagine if all the little kids you saw at your door last night had to take their candy to some central location to be redistributed.
Yeah, I know. Kid’s say the darndest things.
One cute kid and a great costume!
Obama masks seem to have outsold McCain ones here. OTOH, Palin wigs were a success too.
She’s so cute. Well it didn’t help.
