Obama's Security — A Little Too Much Hush
In the NYT story published on-line yesterday ("In Memories of a Painful Past, Hushed Worry About Obama"), we're told we're told about supporters who won't vote for Obama out of concern for his well-being.... So, what I'm wondering (and, probably won't get an answer to for "security reasons") is:...

McCain's Ear For The Lobbyists
The shot above features McCain with senior advisor Steve Schmidt. With the media relegated to sitting in their seats and behaving, I think this is an enormously clever dig.

Bill Richardson, Would-Be King Maker
I was a little put off reading this morning's article on Bill Richardson, would-be king maker. After playing the "also ran," throughout the Dem campaign, the Gov of New Mexico now seems to be taking an almost sadistic pleasure in playing Clinton and Obama off each other -- especially...

UnWeavering Love For McCain
An obvious question to ask, in light of the backlash to this week's NYT story, is how much the press will now be (however unwittingly) running interference for the campaign.

It's Not About Sex, It's About Power
Given where the mind goes -- when money and power (and unreported free rides with beautiful lobbyists) are concerned -- these images can't help but pull for sex.

When You Subtract Lewis
This shot was taken on October 12th, the day Representative Lewis -- the influential congressman and civil rights veteran, and long time friend and supporter of the Clintons -- gave his endorsement to Hillary. The image surfaced yesterday in the NYT after the Georgian and super delegate reversed that...

RGB
lthough the picture was taken some days before the voting, you can't look at this image outside the context of the one-sided loss HRC suffered last night in Maryland (as well as Virginia and D.C.).

Very interesting picture here from the Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Virginia on Saturday.

Starting Out All Thumbs
Leave it to photojournalist and political commentarist Christoper Morris to elevate and accentuate the dis-ease with McCain.

Not Pimping, But Something
The firestorm around David Shuster's snide remark obscures the fact there is a point in there somewhere. That point, I believe, addresses Chelsea's sudden, striking emergence as an active campaigner, and in tandem, almost a new X-factor in the campaign.

The Gawker
What is coming out now is the fact that Mitt, like his campaign, was mostly amateur hour.

Ready To Party Like It's (Not) 2000/2004
What I think is somewhat mind blowing is how completely improbably this scene might have been just a few weeks ago. In other words, what are the chances a newswire photo of a leading GOP Presidential candidate would have actually been set in a bar?

The Maria Moment, And More
With Caroline and her cousin anchoring this pic, the Obama campaign is just buzzing with Kennedy mystique.

Oscars Must Die
It's really inspiring to see how the last seven years of America's global war, not to mention Lebanon and other hotbeds of atrocity, have contributed to this. Credit Newsweek for using the possibility there won't be an Academy Award show this year for putting Oscar in body bags.

Yes, Kodak Moment … But Can They Mine (Yes, Mine) Their Manners Come September?
If Obama and Hillary can reprise last night's show after only one is left standing, just for the unifying purpose of destroying McCain, then I'm more than willing to swallow the picture.

John Edwards: Parting View
Yesterday, I had my say on the Edwards withdrawal. Today though, I'd like to share this shot from Alan Chin taken at the announcement in New Orleans on Tuesday.
