Witches, Werewolves, And Sarah Palin: Send In Your Halloween Pics To HuffPost

Attention all you ghosts, goblins, witches and werewolves! This Friday night your haunts are likely to be joined by a whole other pack of spooky characters. We've no doubt that Sarah Caribou Barbie, Johnny "The Sidekick" McCain, Barack "The Messiah" Obama and similarly ghoulish incarnations of Joe The Plumber, Biden The Mouth and The Alaskan First Dude - all cleverly disguised as costumed trick-or-treaters -- will be streaming up your walkway and pounding on your front doors. According to the New York Times today, Sarah Palin "is turning out to be one of the most popular costume figures this Halloween season -- and not just for women."

The ultimate photo op this week will be this Halloween's versions of the 2008 candidates and their families.

Here's your assignment: whip out your digital cameras and capture the best and worst versions of the political figures you see walking around neighborhoods asking for candy, or bobbing for apples at Halloween parties. Join HuffPost's OffTheBus first-ever Costume Contest by submitting your photos. We'll select and publish the winning photographs.

To submit, send your photos to campaigntrail AT huffingtonpost.com and put "Halloween photos" in the subject line. Include your name, city and state so that we can credit you.

Apologies.....

The "Bet you..." reference was an amended Nostradarwinism and of course should read "Betcha"

mortified by this error

Nostradamus on Sarah Palin..........

"Bet you weren't expecting this"

Not fair. I'm in MN and people around me already know Obama won, so nobody is being political. I see a couple McCain signs and a bunch of Obama signs. But, for the most part, people simply know Obama won MN. My state may have the highest legal voter turnout. Expect to see an amazing win for Obama here.

Lucky you. Here in Florida the McCain people are still stealing the Obama signs from my lawn and all over the neighborhood. I've had two out at any given time, and a total of four are now AWOL. Strangely, they did not take the "Say No to 2" sign on biblical definition of marriage; perhaps they didn't understand what a No vote would mean....
