Whether you support or do not support Obama put in bold letters on the top of the rolled paper "Healthcare Bill". The supporter holds it up high with a smile. The non-supporter holds a RFID (radio frequency identification data) scanner (prop) high in question in one hand and the "Healthcare Bill" in the other. For those who do not know what RFID is
Google "healthcare bill RFID registry skin". Lastly, the supporters can wear a "re-elect me" button as the non-supporters can place a line across the re-election button. Only prop left is the short black wig if you do not have the right hairstyle.

Other politicians include lipstick packing, fashion glass
Sarah Palin who could hold a map where every state is red in color and in the other hand a gun with a how-to-shoot instruction guide (created by you). Don't forget the "Vote, for me, me, me, me" button. From Tea Party supporters to Homeland Security, the CIA or FBI, there's always a character to toss into this political costume ring. And if you plan on dressing like Nancy Pelosi prepare to be egged. Don't shoot the messenger.
Celebrity Halloween Costumes
Celebrities, got to love them in their sometimes twisted world. As if you didn't see this coming - Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay's outfit can include either an orange jumper or short skirt with tight shirt and SCRAM (you could use a watch) bracelet, lots of mascara, tons of eyeliner with a long blond wig. Others can go as Michael Lohan as he argues with Dina Lohan while the Lindsay character says "I love you mummy" as she rolls her eyes at dear old mixed up dad. Lindsay's character can also spark up conversations in sharing "all I need is rehab" (after white powder or flour has been applied on the nose). Don't forget the liquor bottle prop.
Other celebrity costumes? Golden age sex kitten
Marilyn Monroe (or is it Kelly Osborne?), Katy Perry's Sesame Street (black medium wig, red lipstick, lots of liner/mascara, extremely low cut Sesame Street character shirt),
Kim Kardashian (black long wig, lipstick, liner/mascara, thick belt, and an attitude that can't lose), or Russell Brand (fake or real leather pants, patterned short sleeve shirt and loose hip moves while singing "Inside of You") are fun ideas. Don't forget to consider sitcom stars, big screen faces and low key names. Now, to couples costumes.
