2

Will Smith and his real-life wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Greg Kinnear.

Kelsey Grammar; Glenn Close for Cindy McCain, Alan Arkin for Rudy Giuliani, and Peter Falk for Ron Paul.

No idea about the others, though. :slight_smile:

3

Barack Obama… Denzel Washington
Hillary Clinton…Rebecca DeMornay Oooh! Nice one.
Bill Clinton… Roger Moore.

John McCain… R. Lee Ermey :slight_smile:
Fred Thompson… Himself, of course.

4

Ralph Nader… Jamie Farr

John McCain… Michael Hogan

It’s too bad John Ritter has passed on - he was a dead ringer for John Edwards.

5

Tell me this guy wouldn’t make the perfect frakkin’ John McCain:

6

Ahem… one post above you.

7

I think Biden looks a lot like Phil Hartman, but Ted Danson isn’t a bad choice. And I still think Obama looks a bit like Harry Lennix and not a thing like Will Smith. I haven’t heard of Michael Hogan before, but he does have a resemblance to McCain, so that works for me.

I know there’s no real resemblance, but I think I’d like to see John Turturro as Rudy Giuliani.

8

Jon Hamm might be Mitt Romney if the make-up department are good.

9

Here - watch this.

10

I came in to say Harry Lennix for Obama. He doesn’t look a bit like Denzel Washington, and the ears are the only thing Smith’s got going for him.

11

Mike Gravel…Leslie Nielsen

12

Yeah, Lennix would be perfect

13

The only true Bill and Hillary Clinton are John Travolta and Emma Thompson.

14

McCain - Leslie Neilson
Cindy McCain - Sharon Stone/Glenn Close [fatal attraction era]
Obama - Will Smith
Michelle - Jada

15

Arrested Development and 40 Year Old Virgin fans will remember Jane Lynch - I think she’d be a good Cindy McCain.

ETA: And perhaps Ian Holm as Ron Paul?

16

Heck with McCain! I’m ready to vote Saul Tigh!

(And I’ve never seen one ep of the new BG).

17

Tim Kaine…Bill Smitrovich
Keith Olbermann…Jeff Goldblum

18

I think Andy Serkis should do a motion capture for the totally-CGI Dennis Kucinich.

19

Although fictional characters may not be specifically excluded by the Constitution, he’d have to be a natural-born U.S. citizen, and Tigh is not a citizen of the United States.Or naturally born.

20

Ralph Nader … Christopher Lloyd
