Tina Fey & Sarah Palin
When the Saturday Night Live alum channeled the V.P. hopeful on her alma mater, the spot-on impersonation actually made the all but forgotten late-night fixture the talk of the watercooler again. Of course, the Alaska governor deserves some of the credit as well. Her recent appearance gave the show its highest ratings since '94.
Paris Hilton
When the heiress announced her candidacy via FunnyorDie.com, people thought it was a joke. OK, maybe it was. But the girl did propose a solution to the energy crisis that actually sounded logical. Mmmm, might there be a place for her in the next administration? Both candidates are about change, after all.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Hasselbeck might be the Republican party's highest profile celebrity supporter and, at least on the View, its most outnumbered. When she wore this self-designed "Great AmeriMcCain" T-shirt on the show, it caused an on-air debate and sparked rumors of a backstage brouhaha. But Elisabeth doesn't seem to mind, letting all the controversy roll off her cotton-clad back.
Eva Longoria Parker
Why was the Desperate Housewives actress smiling at a MySpace Café in Denver during the Democratic National Convention? Did she, like her alter ego, Gabrielle, leap five years into the future, and get to see her candidate win?
Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert
Note to the New Yorker. The next time you want to be satirical, simply contact these guys. Their parody of your Barack Obama-Michelle Obama cover managed to successfully address the same political myths in a way that avoided offending. Not to mention theirs was a helluva lot funnier.
Rosario Dawson
The actress not only worked the floor of the Republican National Convention, but she was also on hand at a rally during the Democratic one, where she encouraged young people to get out and vote. Now that's what we call "reaching across the aisle."
Halle Berry
For the Oscar winner and other celebs, expressing support for a particular presidential hopeful became quite fashionable this election season—literally—as T-shirts became the new bumper sticker. And with good reason. Have you ever tried to get one of those suckers off?
Heidi Montag & Meghan McCain
Realizing that her endorsement of John McCain may not be enough to help him win, the reality star apparently thought it might be more beneficial to pal around with his daughter. That, or she simply thinks it's super cute to hang out with someone whose last name also begins with "M."
Jimmy Kimmel
After 18 long months of primaries, debates and wall-to-wall news coverage, the talk-show host is helping bring it all to a humorous close by posing twice for GQ's November issue, and insisting that we all must vote, whether it be Democrat or Republican, "so this damn thing can finally be over."
Amen.
