Many Americans using Halloween to express their political views. Pumpkin portraits of presidential and vice-presidential candidates abound.Elaborate displays include a political web and a giant corn maze to get out the vote.
Now I don't care which side of the political fence you are on. Barack O-lanterns and Palin pumpkins? Do you think this goes too far? It's a holiday for the kids. What do you think?

I think it was a bunch of people (adults) trying to have fun maybe it wasn't appropriate no but it was probably all done in fun or I hope it was.

I couldn't help but notice that there was a pumpkin with Obama and Biden, One of Obama, and one of Palin. No one bothered to make one with McCain's face on it. Hmmm...I think it is a little silly to make Halloween political. I know adults enjoy Halloween too, but that is just silly.

I know that most American people are thinking about the election at the moment. Supporters have been very creative with their designs for Halloween this year. I think that the the lanterns and pumpkins are really imaginative indeed. I do not live in the USA so I don't know which party I would vote for if I did reside there. It is very amusing that Halloween has got political in the USA.
