Among listed candidates, "Strangers with Candy" star Jerri Blank was a runaway winner in the Harriet Miers Doppleganger contest. As Jerri has observed: "If you're gonna reach for a star, reach for the lowest one you can."
Palpatine, however, was the beneficiary of a remarkable write-in campaign, and we are considering a run-off. As the Emperor has observed, "Now witness the firepower of this fully operational battle station."

Yesterday, we asked you to cast your vote in the Harriet Miers's Look-a-Like Contest (polls close at noon!), and we indicated a willingness to accept write in vote. There have been, er, more than expected, with Emperor Palpatine leading the insurgency. Other possibilities:
• Iggy Pop
• Dana Carvey's Church Lady
• Florence Henderson
• The elder Mrs. Bush
• Tracy Ullman
• Chris Kattan
• Swoosie Kurtz
• Tommy Franks
• Estelle Getty
• Madam
• The Joker
• Zell Miller
We'll consider doing a run-off between the poll winner and Palpatine if the Emperor's surge continues, though we will refrain from commenting on the aptness of the write-ins otherwise. Except to say that they are all just as qualified to actually serve as Miers is.
Come to think of it, Palpatine and Scalia would make a great team.
