Here are the top ten Political Halloween Costumes and Halloween costumes Ideas for 2009. Enjoy!

Political Halloween Costume #1

President Obama

You know you wish you were the President, with all those interns at your disposal, so indulge that desire by dressing like Barack Obama this Halloween. Watch a couple videos of the president so you can imitate his mannerisms, and decide if you wanna go fancy or casual for the clothes.

Political Halloween Costume #2

Sarah Palin

Yes, everyone dressed like Sarah Palin last Halloween, but that doesn't mean you can't recreate the look this year. Just make sure to wave hello to Russia throughout the evening. Also, this is a perfect look for a little Zombification -- just add some fake blood and green-tinted face paint. Actually, any politician is a great candidate for the zombie look.

Political Halloween Costume #3

John McCain

You'll just need a John McCain mask and a suit and tie to pull off this look. You can spend the evening bitching about how you should be president and this young farts ain't got no respect. Or you can try to go all "Bill Clinton" by finding yourself a pretty, young intern for the night.

Political Halloween Costume #4

George Bush

The guy is still a classic, and in order for you to truly pull off the look, you'll need to memorize a smattering of Bushisms like "They misunderestimated me" to spout off all night.

Political Halloween Costume #5

Newt Gingrich

You'll need to be fat or well padded, and you'll need a puffy grey-haired wig to pull of your Halloween costume of the former Speaker of the House.

Political Halloween Costume #6

Hillary Clinton

You'll need a high-powered pantsuit and a Hillary Clinton mask, which you can probably find for sale at Target or Wal-Mart, in order to achieve the look. This is a look, by the way, just begging for Zombification...

Political Halloween Costume #7

Glenn Beck

This political wildcard's look can be achieved with a pair of Converse sneakers and some white hairspray. Make your makeup shiny, like there's one too many spotlights shining on you, and be sure to carry a tissue to dab away fake tears.

Political Halloween Costume #8

Arnold Schwarzenegger

He might not be able to "terminate" the recession in California, but this movie star turned governor is a perfect person for your to parody with a Halloween costume. You'll need to order an Arnold Schwarzenegger mask online and speak in a fake Austrian accent saying things like, "I'll be back.... For more candy."

Political Halloween Costume #9

Richard Nixon

It just wouldn't be Halloween without seeing at least one Richard Nixon at a party, and you just know that Richard Nixon has the best times when he goes out to party. Spend the night telling people you aren't a crook, then steal drinks all night.

Political Halloween Costume #10

Osama Bin Laden

Okay, it ain't politically correct, but since when are Halloween costumes politically correct? You'll need a turban, a few weeks' worth of beard growth, and an angry attitude to pull this off. You'll probably want to fake talk in Arabic all night, and stay out of conservation Christian establishments.
