Halloween is an important date in the US calendar, and nowhere more so than in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where every year on 31 October, 80,000 people descend on the town’s (population: 54,000) main drag, Franklin Street, to drink, carouse, and parade their silly costumes.
North Carolina has been a solidly Republican state since 1976, but this year is a battleground for the presidential candidates. Chapel Hill is a college town, and on campus, say students, the mood is Obama-friendly. Assuming that dressing up as a political grotesque is not necessarily intended as flattery, and taking a straw poll of the costumes on show, they would appear to be correct.
Top sighting is Sarah Palin (tied with Heath Ledger’s Joker), with
approximately 15-20 imitators. Hot on her heels is "Joe the Plumber" (who
is now stumping for McCain), with approximately 10-15 imitators. And
bringing up the rear are Obama and Bill Clinton, with just one imitator
each in our deeply unscientific survey. Sadly, there wasn’t a Joe Biden
in sight.
