Via Balloon Juice we find the Star Wars Guide to the Candidates, which is fairly amusing if one is familiar with the films.
My favorites are the send-ups of Ron Paul and Joe Biden:
Obi-ron Paul-obiWidely respected for his stubborn belief that the whole universe should be run just like his neighborhood on the backwater planet Tatooine, Obi-ron spends a lot of time wistfully remembering the Old Republic. He practices a peculiar interpretation of The Force, in which reducing government to only local control and returning to the gold standard is the answer. Obi-ron reluctantly returned the contributions of the Tusken Raiders and Jawas, whose politics of ethnic slaughter and droid slave trade he justifies as “states rights”. While his anti-Empire foreign policy excites the Rebel Alliance, it’s pretty much a Jedi mind trick. He’s still a crazy old guy living in the desert.

See, the funny thing about Cjoe3PO is that he’d probably make a pretty good leader. The Ewoks thought he was a god, remember? He’s smart, informed, an excellent protocol droid, but he annoys the crap out of everyone because you can’t shut him up. Still, he’s been around since Episode I and looks pretty impressive when he gets all shined up. We could do worse. And what would be more kick-ass than Vice President Artoo? A mega-improvement, I’m just sayin’.
