Eighteen-year-old Heather from Alexandria, Virginia, just graduated from 12th grade home schooling. She isn't sure yet what her occupation will be, but she knows she likes John McCain (also her church, Starbucks coffee, and reading). On a post-primaries jaunt into DC, she spotted this cutout. (Thanks, Ann Raber).

It's harder to find good pro-McCain stuff out in webland. It just is. We resisted admitting that for a while, and we search diligently, but it simply seems to be true. Especially when it comes to creative art, citizen ads, and funny videos. Whether this has something to do with ...

The very day that Moveon.org expressed some alarm at Obama's support of the FISA bill, it also persevered with a "Hungry for Change" Obama bake sale. Cookies were made and sold across the country, from New York City to Missoula, Montana. (Thanks, Sue Salinger and Ann Raber.)
In Austin, Texas, Cara ...

Last night Obama secured enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination and Clinton didn't concede. It's not remotely possible to sum up the loud online talk, so here are just a few interesting reactions.
Designer-doodler Chris Piascik in Cambridge, MA, went straight to his moleskine notebook to do one of his ...

This genius composition by victoriabernal needs minimal introduction: There are some pink rabbit peeps who live in Los Angeles. They like Obama. (James Mills found them.)

You may disagree with the peeps's politics, but in most ways they're just like you and me: They make coffee. (Sometimes it turns ...

With Obama edging towards a declaration of victory in the wake of the Oregon and Kentucky primaries, it seemed the right time to feature this photo (found by Sue Salinger). Either the shopkeeper has a wicked sense of humor or customer demand is actually following the delegate trend:

This takes citizen ads to a whole new level. It includes tap dancing, dogs in t-shirts, and dizzying costume changes -- all supported by a very(!) enthusiastic original song (thanks, Sue Salinger):

Dixie Wells -- aka "young and with it" (possibly more young and with it than her subject) -- is from Austin, TX. It appears that she caught this conflicted donkey outside the local Alamo movie theatre the night of the Democratic debate in Austin.

Hillary Clinton won the Indiana primary yesterday, but her margin of victory was small, and her defeat in North Carolina was quite sound. So with things not looking as rosy for her campaign as they might, how does she feel this morning? Is she flagging (thanks, James Mills)?:

Democrats in Indiana and North Carolina voted today after days of rallies and knocking on doors. (Republicans voted, too, but...) These two pictures are from the last couple of weeks on the campaign trail. In Indianapolis, Brian Bruner captured what may be the best Hillary hat of the entire election ...

For a light start to the week, some fantastic election kitsch. Londoner fintag, who writes a hedge-fund blog, took this photo on the streets of NYC (thanks, Ann Raber). It's hard to believe it, but they actually exist: electric sconces decorated with pictures of McCain, Obama, and Clinton... and a ...
