Flickr is amazing sometimes. Today we found great shots of Saturday's first Obama-Biden rally in Springfield, Illinois. Lots of citizens with a good eye wielding cameras out there. This photo by Bradjward is a quick preview; we'll feature more tomorrow. It shows part of the 35,000-strong crowd in front of ...

She submitted it to the Manifest Hope exhibit of Obama art that's showing in Denver next week during the Democratic convention. Miss_glass doesn't think she'll win, but she deserves some ...

It could be about guns and religion. Or about FISA and campaign finance.

There may not have been many people protesting the fact of the Saddleback Church forum, but activists outside the church were certainly fired up about the candidates and issues.
From stirnaman.photo (hat tip to Sue Salinger), here's a Bush (and, in smaller print, McCain) supporter:

Seen by Orlando-based Cavale in a Florida campground she wasn't fond of, this car-window graffiti (thanks, James Mills):

Cavale ended up leaving the campground even though she had a new tent and couldn't get her money back. It seems this car wasn't directly to blame.

In the town of Obama in Fukui Prefecture in Japan, there's a group called "Obama for Obama." And Obama for Obama in Obama has a special song, recorded here by undochu (thanks, Sarolta Cump):

Many young Republicans appear concerned that their ranks are thinning. Not so Ian Gallagher, UVA student and intern at the university's Center for Politics. He rallied support for McCain during the Virgina primary, and he's not giving up on his generation. He thinks Republican values and votes are there among ...

Sticking with the FISA story for one more post, here's a video (found by Sarolta Cump) from an angry former Obama supporter. Jim is from Columbus, Ohio, and he explains how Obama gained and then lost his vote:
