"The winner is going to be the star of a DVD that … we're going to ask members to show in their homes," says Ray Murphy, PAS's director. "It'll be kind of like Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, but with failing schools and families struggling to make ends meet." But the crowd was almost all white and about half gray, lots of gay couples and quite a few of those grandparent-ly types who, bless their hearts, have never stopped being politically active. In other words, nice folk, just not necessarily the demographic you'd suspect will have lots of new, young and infrequent voters over for movie night.

The skits ranged from a Santorum who blandly recited a speech while slowly disrobing, to a catty, fabulous (you know, gay) Santorum on the phone with Bush while watching QVC. "Life without QVC wouldn't be worth living—unless you're a fetus, life is always worth living if you're a fetus!" he chortled. Even if you're the disturbingly realistic dead baby one of the other Santorums whipped out of a briefcase?

There was also a video montage, and two musical interludes: Melissa Kolczynski's The Teachings of Chairman Rick (from the Fringe Festival, originally) set darling Ricky's notorious anti-gay marriage speech to music, and was rather a showstopper with its jazzy rendition of that old standby, the "man on child, man on dog" line.

What does it take to become the winning mockSantorum? Kelly Feighan, a petite Santorum in pigtails, played Jeopardy! against a red- and yellow-robed Jesus. One of the incorrect responses: "Who is William Hung?" Huh? I'm just an average voter, my pop culture memory doesn't reach back that far. The "Famous Hypocrites" category went much better: "Who am I?" "Who am I?" "Who am I?" At the end, she hopped on the back of a very large man in a dog costume and rode triumphantly off the stage. Or maybe that was just a heat-induced hallucination.
