TwitterWho'll play Sarah Palin in inevitable biopix? Vote now!
With all the hubbub over Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin being chosen by Sen. John McCain to be his running mate, it' s only a matter of time before someone pitches a quickie TV-movie script to ABC, Lifetime, Showtime, even HBO.
C'mon, this ripped-from-the-headlines story has built in audience appeal for women, pregnant teenagers, mothers of pregnant teenagers, people with children who have Down syndrome, former beauty queens, abortion foes, horrified liberal Democrats and staunch right-wing Republicans.
So let's do some early casting.
Here are our top choices of actresses to play to the outspoken, right-wing, anti-abortion governor and VP candidate.
To refresh your memory of what Sarah Palin looks like to help you pick the perfect lookalike, keep reading.
Then cast your vote below for Mariska Hargitay, Tina Fey or Megan Mullally. Or feel free to do a write-in and leave a comment with your suggestions.
I'm kinda thinking Nia Vardalos or Julia Louis-Dreyfus might work too.

tina Fey: A Comedian for a comedian.
I do believe that Mariska Hargitay has the physicality and the right bone structure to play Gov. Sarah Palin and it doesn't hurt to add that she is a terrific actress and I believe she can pull this character/play like a no body.
I think that they could all play Sarah Palin. Will it be an honest portrayal or a liberal leaning character assassinination based on lies and innuendo.
Your all missing the obvious one! The minute I saw her on TV I thought it was Dr. Melfi from the Sopranos!!!
This is crap. Typical media arrogance.
Oh come on! It has to be Seinfeld's Julia Louis-Dreyfus!
When I first saw her I thought Tina Fey. Saturday Night Live is going to have fun with her. Yee Haw
What about Lorraine Braco? I think Palin looks like an evil Dr. Melfi from Sopranos.
I would do Drag to Play this Great Woman! hopefully the next vice President of the U.S. and then the next President!
She looks like Megan Mullally, glasses or not. And no offense to Tina lovers, but Tina isn't NEARLY as attractive as Megan or Sarah. Not even several years ago when she was her
"prettiest". Sorry, but it's true.
