Back in the days when I used to read Wizard, they used to have comic book casting calls where they chose a comic book, such as Spiderman and cast the movie for it. I still remember they chose Howie Long as Venom/Eddie Brock. At the time I thought that was a pretty good match up, especially how Todd McFarlane drew him. But I digress. Here is my 2008 Presidential Candidate Casting Call if they made a movie out of it. Thanks to Allan for starting it off!
Let’s start with the Democrats:
Recently dropped out runner Jonathan Edwards played by the late great John Ritter aka “Jack Tripper”

Barak Obama played by Tuvok from Star Trek: Voyager or Dave Chappelle (as Howard Dean)

For the Republicans:

John McCain played by Steve Martin

Fred Thompson played by the guy in Law & Order (these guys look like twins)

My man Ron Paul (¡viva la rLOVEution!) played by Sir Ian McKellen
