Rope of Silicon has a sweet feature up today: “Casting the 2008 Election.” It’s one of those lists I wish I had thought of, and for the most part, it’s spot on, some real zingers: Bruce Campbell as Mitt Romney, Harold Ramis as Keith Olbermann, Kevin Spacey as Mike Huckabee. Some of the choices don’t really work, though: Tobey Maguire as John Edwards, Nicolas Cage as Joe Biden. And though the choice of Mary-Louise Parker for Campbell Brown is inspired, I always get a Margaret Colin vibe.
Anyway, a great diversion these days. Head on over to Rope of Silicon for the full list. I’ll leave you with my fave:
