Rick Santorum: Kilroy Was Here (Styx)
Santorum's ideology fits right at home with the one espoused by Dr. Righteous, leader of the MMM (Majority for Musical Morality.)

Rick Perry - Operation: Mindcrime (Queensrÿche)
The nihilism of Rick Perry recalls the cruel regime of Dr. X, which seeks nothing more than power for its own sake.

Newt Gingrich - 2112 (Rush)
Newt embodies the nefarious Priests of the Temple of Syrinx, who tightly control every facet of life and seek to destroy anything that does not fit with the plan. Just substitute federal judges with guitars and the analogy is complete.

Michelle Bachmann - The Four Horsemen (Aphrodite's Child)
The less said about this one, the better.

Mitt Romney - Get 'Em Out By Friday (Genesis)
Corporations are people too. That includes United Blacksprings International. Their plan to sell more apartments by genetically restrict the height of people to four feet is the free market at its most efficient.

[b]Ron Paul - Tarkus (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
This one was tough. But libertarian ideology is all about personal freedom, including the freedom to construct a gigantic armadillo tank.

Oh for the love of God, I forgot to bold Ron Paul.

from Deadspin:

OK, now Michele Bachmann has backed up her claim at being the Tim Tebow of the 2012 presidential campaign by being nearly shut out in the Iowa Republican caucuses. The results are in; here's how the rest of the field shapes up:

Mitt Romney is Joe Flacco.

Rick Santorum is Alex Smith.

Ron Paul is Andy Dalton.

Rick Perry is Kevin Kolb.

Newt Gingrich is Rex Grossman.

Jon Huntsman is Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Herman Cain is Mark Sanchez.

Sarah Palin is Brett Favre.

Ron Paul is tough with any analogy, NFL quarterbacks included.
