If there's one thing Republicans and Democrats can agree on during this election year, it's this: both prospective First Ladies are knockouts! Whichever of these women ends up in the White House, millions of ordinary American men will emulate her look. But how easy and affordable is this transformation?
Last week we turned one ordinary guy into Michelle Obama. (Watch it here.). Now, with the guidance of famed beauty expert Hedda Lettuce, it's time to turn another lucky lug into Cindy!
Mo Rocca has appeared on a bunch of shows, including 'The Daily Show,' 'I Love the 80s,'...

1. Truly magical, but why Mo was his shirt off?

2. Nice job! Will will have to work to perfect Cindy's frosty gaze (or maybe he just needs some ice-blue contacts), but aside from that, I think the "tasteful glamour and classic elegance" were realized. Good styling, Hedda!

4. Hmmm, "No fatties"...
LOL!!!
Ah, the memories on this blog!
Well done, babe. Smooches.

My dearest Mo,
I LOVE the look!
I can't wait to dress my brother up using Hedda's easy to follow advice.

6. Hey. Anybody see the Brittney impersonator on "America's Got Talent"? WAY better than the original!

7. Aw Mo,
Cindy McBlayze, you are such a prude.
And Mo, you really have to get over your thing about nipples. God put them there, you know.
I agree with Shannon; it's all about the eyes. You wear the spooky ice-blue ones at the country club as Cindy McCain and then you can switch over to Exorcist black ones for clubbing and pull off a nice Posh Spice.
Mo-Hedda-Kevin Bacon! I win!

8. SUCH an upbeat technicolor Blog post!!!!!!!
nailed it across the board 180! Well done!

9. Mo--Great interview! I was kind of hoping that Peppermint did Candy McCane’s I mean Cindy McCain’s makeover, but Hedda Lettuce did a wonderful job (by any chance is Hedda’s wig attached with snaps manufactured by the Snap-Ease Co.?)
Before I forget, please tell Hedda’s sister Romaine I said hello and that I look forward to seeing her at Caesar’s salad social!

10. How much did I love Hedda Lettuce? Such presence! Mo, she almost...ALMOST...stole that segment!
Booka at 11:34AM on Jul 9th 2008
11. Hey, hey,
Easy on the Go Hedda stuff.
Let's remember, she too, is running for President on the Independent ticket (or is that the VERY Independent ticket) no matter!
Let's not lose our rutabaga (read Lettuce here) and vote for someone who hasn't even debated in the Mo Rocca Debates!
Get your girl on girl if you think you have juice around here. I don't know what that means, but I'm Hank Kimball and I'm running for something.

12. I see, well, no, I don't exactly see, it's more like I read, well, I hear...
anyway...
Thanks JG for stealing my thunder...
What was I talking about?
Hank Kimball at 12:54PM on Jul 9th 2008
13. Hank,
I apologize for overstepping my authority.
I was simply suggesting that "What's Her Name," (NOT Madge) who has comfortably changed positions on many the issues, join the next Mo Rocca Independent Debates.
Will, talk to Hank's people.
JG^^

14. Once again Mo does some more serious journalism. I always wonder what a young Cindy would look like and this clears it up. Brillant!

15. Michele Obama a knockout? You need to get out more.
