From Pandagon: The GOP presidential hopefuls as Buffy villains.

Anyone have ideas for democratic hopefuls? I call Hilary as Cordelia, because sometimes she's evil, and sometimes she's nice, and she does whatever's popular and in the end is some sort of freaky tool of the PTB. Thoughts?

Hrm. If we're sticking strictly to the good guys for the Dems...

Obama as Xander, maybe? Minus the suckage? Cute, snarky, enthusiastic, but you worry a little about him sometimes.

Edwards as Angel. Clearly wants to make up for past mistakes and has the charm to pull it off but sometimes you just can't shake the feeling he's a total tool.

Biden's definitely Giles. Smart and competent but is stronger in an academic setting, rather than front and center.

And on my less forgiving days, Kucinich as Buffy. Mostly for the whiiiiiine and the fact they both look like twelve-year-old girls.

Oh goodness, fifteen pounds of bunny. Hello mister buns!

Sorry, got distracted. They don't have to be good guys, it's just that in comparison to their opponents, they sort of end up being alright :)

I would take credit for the bunny comment, but alas, it's a Life reference (the main character wants to come back as a Flemish rabbit in his next life and that's how he describes them. Which is actually pretty accurate and yet another reason to watch the show /pimp).

Oh. Well, not untrue. But now I'm going to be trying to figure out who Spike is. Though - Alan Keyes = Drusilla? For the bugfuck crazy factor?
