Halloween 2011 Costume Ideas: GOP Presidential Candidates! (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 10/19/11 11:21 AM ET   Updated: 12/19/11 05:12 AM ET

Have you already browsed our most inappropriate costume list and our meme-y costume list, and still aren't sure what you want to be for Halloween this year? Looking for something topical, but not too obscure, or funny, but easy to pull off? Maybe it's time to pull out a classic and go as a political figure.

And sure, in years prior you might have had to rely on some old stand-bys, but lucky for you there's an impressive buffet of Republican candidates who still haven't dropped out of the 2012 presidential race yet, so you have a lot of options to choose from.

Male, female. Blue suit, red suit. Mutton chops, pizza ballads. This year's lineup has it all.

There's fun to be had no matter who you choose, but be sure to vote for the candidate you'd most like to dress up as (even if that's the only vote you'll be giving them).

You'll need a pair of black gloves, an arsenal of ridiculous catch phrases, and some Civil War-era facial hair to pull off this look -- but if you're committed enough to grow a beard, you're committed enough to be President of Halloween.

Ever seen a condom on the ground and wondered if it was Santorum or something else entirely?

Fair warning, people! If you want to go as Santorum for Hallowe'en and do a Google search for costume ideas, your best hope might be getting mistaken for a spitbug.

You could double up as Herman Cain choosing to be gay, lunching on a little Santorum with "Little Marky" Marcus Bachmann.

Yuck! The only Halloween parties I get invited to are those sponsored by my son's school or daycare. I don't think that will work.

If you dressed up as Santorum (as in the first result in a Google search) you'd repel everyone.

Ouch. You mean 'shudder', right? Because a shutter is something you use to cover a window.
