Palin's Strong Influence
With Halloween right around the corner, many people are questioning what their costume will be and while many have the freedom to choose, people in West Hollywood, California might not be so lucky. The city officials are discussing a potential limitation for the public by creating a ban for drag queens and other “party goers” to dress up as Republican V.P. candidate, Sarah Palin. The McCain campaign does not approve of this ban, referring to it as a deliberate attempt to decrease the Republican vote. Even though there are probably many more issues that deserve greater attention, this story was just too amusing to pass up. The Republican Party wants people to start taking Palin more seriously, so wouldn’t it be rational not to endorse drag queens and other “party goers” to dress up as her for Halloween? Especially since the polls are showing that she is having such a huge influence on voters. Was this a joke intended just to get a reaction out of the Republican Party? If so, this is really taking the elections to a whole new level, which isn't surprising.

I agree with the article that it's just tacky to dress up in drag as Sarah Palin. I'm not sure if it would hurt the Republican vote if it was banned because a lot of people dressing up as Sarah Palin are already not voting Repub. right? I think that banning it would cause bigger problems than Halloween costumes and parties should.
C'mon...who takes Halloween THAT seriously, anyway? Would a costume really make that much of a difference? People old enough to want to dress up like Sarah Palin are probably going to be intoxicated that night anyway, so the chances of people remembering what other people dressed up as is going to be slim as it is. Quit trying to regulate our fun time! It's what we live for!
I just think that Sarah Palin should really read this articles about herself and evaluate how she is portraying herself to the public. It just seems that people are not taking her seriously, so maybe she should change something.
