Liberal political action group MoveOn.org features actress Olivia Wilde in its latest online get out the vote ad, which is packaged as a video from a future where Sarah Palin is president and the Republican Party has merged with the corporations which help fund its campaigns to form RepubliCorp.

The ad's exaggerations are aimed at showing viewers that the stakes higher in the Nov. 2 midterm elections. Republicans are poised to re-capture a majority in the House of Represenatives, which would likely derail many of President Barack Obama's plans for the environment, gay rights and government spending, among other policy areas.

You can watch the ad at the Huffington Post. It asks you to sign in with your Facebook, but you can click "no thanks." It seems to take a while to load.
