Hobbits, if you’ve read the books, is actually a fitting complement. Hobbits basically had no government but all lived in a perfectly capitalist system and lived within the bounds of common decency. When Saruman the White was freed from Isengard, and even before that, he worked to enslave the Hobbits, out of revenge, by imposing heavy handed and SOCIALIST government on them. Instead of keeping the fruits of their labor he forced them to bring it to him and his thugs for distribution (hardly any of it made it back to the Hobbits). The Hobbits, though not given to passions and being disinclined to confrontation, were roused and dealt severely with their oppressors at the Battle of Bywater.

If the Battle of Bywater is replicated in the US, you can bet that McCain will fill the role of Wormtongue.
