Millions of Americans watched the first presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, but perhaps none with the intensity of Jim Gossett and Maxwell Price.

The two men just happen to make their living impersonating the two candidates and a win on either side could mean four years of an income estimated to be higher than the $450,000 salary Obama makes being the leader of the free world.

Americans who despair of ever seeing a civilized presidential campaign really should have witnessed Barack Obama help Mitt Romney iron his crumpled suit in a Manhattan hotel room last week. Well, if only they'd been the real president and his Republican challenger. Maxwell Price and Mike Cote probably look more like Obama and Romney than anyone in the world, other than Obama and Romney themselves of course.

We are extremely excited and honored to announce that we are gearing up to launch our first touring show: Ronald Reagan, Morning In America. We have been working with Broadway make-up artist Adam Bailey for the past two months, and are almost ready for our first screen test. Here's a quick sneak peek inside the Adam Bailey FX Studios located in Brooklyn, New York.

The art director on our Romney-vs.-Obama boxing-match photo shoot explains how it came together.

The brief
Every four years James Fallows previews the presidential debates. He's a big deal, it's a big deal. Four years ago the solution was to montage news shots of Obama and McCain on to a dramatic black background. It made, sense, looked good, a quick read—a successful cover. Let's do something like that.

The idea
How do we do a version that's relevant to this year? What's unique? It's going to be dirty. (Isn't it always?) So let's show them fighting. You know, really fighting. Illustration or photomontage? Remembered a shoot five or six years from New York magazine, where I then worked. British artist / photographer / provocateur Alison Jackson photographed lookalikes of Brad and Angelina with newborn baby.  (Back then, Adam Moss, New York's editor, had wanted to get the first baby shots, scooping People, Hello, and US Weekly. Trouble was the baby hadn't been born and we didn't want to pay $6 million for first rights—not that it would be offered. Funny.) So that's our idea: a fight with lookalikes of Mitt and Barack going at it in a boxing ring.

While Republicans and Democrats cross swords over voter registration in several states, they might want to pause at some point and look up at any Virgin America flight they happen to see in the sky today.

Because that’s where new opportunities for voter registration are headed – 35,000 feet in the air.

Virgin America will be in town to provide some out-of-flight entertainment Tuesday.

The 2012 election has already prompted a treasure trove of parodies, like Michelle Bachmann's Newsweek cover, Rick Santorum's Google problem and um… what was the third one? Election season always brings its fair share of comedy, and this cycle has been no exception, with comedy site Funny or Die leading the charge with various satirical videos.
