The folks who make Captain Morgan’s rum hired a firm to survey 600 Americans, ages 21 to 49, to find out who they would dress as for Halloween.

Some results:

In the talk-show host division, 35 percent would be Jay Leno, while 15 percent selected David Letterman and 11 percent went with Conan O’Brien. There’s a tie at 1 percent for Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart, Craig Ferguson, Larry King, Jerry Springer, Chelsea Lately, Johnny Carson and Stephen Colbert. (This begs the question: How many people know what Craig Ferguson actually looks like so that they’d realize you were dressed as Craig Ferguson?)

But Jay has nothing on Hilary Clinton: 57 percent of respondents think she would make the best Halloween costume, followed by Rudy Giuliani (12 percent), Barack Obama (11 percent), Fred Thompson (6 percent), John McCain (3 percent) and John Edwards (2 percent).

Want to go as a entry?: Brad and Angelina has three times as many votes as the next closest couple, Britney and K-Fed (who are now divorced). Trailing behind are Bill and Hilary, Tom and Katie (baby Suri is optional), Posh and Becks and George and Laura.
