The third installment reads "Presidential Fashion Debate: Vote for the Best Dressed Candidate." There is a mannequin of Mitt Romney as Dracula, with a black cape and vampire teeth, and it looks like President Obama's figure, dressed in a red checked peacoat and pants that hit just below the knee, is meant to be Captain Hook - the figure has an arm with a hook on the end popping out of his coat.

Perhaps on Halloween night.
