Official DNC graphic. Why am I not surprised?

1. the photo of Bernie...casual friday....back row Bernie.....image brightness draws the eye to Hillary

it looks like Bernie was photobombing a group photo of the other four.

[merrily]

12. LOL! And whatever they used to darken everyone but Hillary makes Chafee look lavender.

What a shameful ploy, on top of everything else the DNC has done.

[chervilant]

27. And, one can't help but notice

our "heroine" is wearing white.

She is allowing her minions to commit huge gaffes -- even her dh.

[Scootaloo]

31. ...That's how Chaffee actually looks

if elected he will be our nation's first Enceladean-American, bringing unity with our nation and his own people within their crystalline palaces beneath the surface of Saturn's frozen sea-moon.

Yes, Chaffee is a mermaid from outer space, and that is why we need his vision in the White House.

[merrily]

32. I'm so confused. Wouldn't he be a merman? Wasn't the Mer race blue-green?

When did it become lavender? Or Saturnine?

Have you fact-checked any of this with snopes.com or even the hosts of DU's Chafee Group? http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1283

Wait, he can't be President unless he is a "natural born citizen" of the US.

Oh, now I get it. You're just another Chafee hater.

[artislife]

44. You make me laugh! nt

26. Everyone in the photo is fully lit except Bernie, who is half in shadow.

To tip you off that he's the secret supervillain.

ETA: And, of course, besides the rest of what folks have pointed out, notice that Hillary is the only one whose shoulders are both fully in view, making sure you know she's out in front, while the other guys get one shoulder apiece, and Bernie gets none.

And good Lord, look how long O'Malley's shoulder span is in that photo! Looks to me like they deliberately dragged his shoulder wider to hide more of Bernie. Unless, of course, he's severely deformed, and his shoulders really are that wide.

[MH1]

28. At least he was included in the photo.

Notice how well they blended in the non-photo of Lawrence Lessig.

I'm seeing more and more people being interested in what Lessig has to say. The DNC should at least acknowledge his existence.

[CanonRay]

2. Looks like the sun is shining only on Hillary!

[merrily]

13. That's because the sun has already endorsed Hillary.

18. merrily, you are adorable. :D:D:D`

I wonder who Pluto wants.

[merrily]

19. Adorable, sarcastic, pitaytoe, pitahtoe.

The Pluto bit whooshed over my head, though.

[roguevalley]

20. I think I was thinking about a twitter thing this morning where someone

was bitching about someone not standing up for something and a wag posted, "When they came for Pluto, I did nothing."

BWAHAHAA! I love solar system stuff. HUGS!

[merrily]

21. That is funny! Is Pluto a planet now or not? I can't keep up. (Actually, I don't try.)

[roguevalley]

22. it may be edging back. Goofy as it sounds. ;O)

[merrily]

24. I guess I am caught up. Good to know.

[artislife]

45. You make me laugh, too! nt

[Time_Lord]

37. Must not state the obvious joke... must not state the obvious joke...

[LWolf]

47. It sure does.

Who put that picture together?

[highprincipleswork]

3. good luck winning the White House that way

[corkhead]

4. He didn't get the memo that you need a tie or a necklace to be a front row candidate.

He should have known that he needed to wear a tie in the picture they chose of him.

[merrily]

11. LOL! Without reading your post, I posted something similar.

[Le Taz Hot]

5. Wow

They're not even trying to hide it at this point.

[restorefreedom]

38. amazing, isn't it?

completely out there...full speed ahead

[n2doc]

6. Look at their eyes

Bernie is looking straight at the camera, engaging the viewer. HRC is looking off to the side. So is Chaffee. It's like there are more important things to look at than the viewer. Webb and O'Malley also are looking at the camera, but heads are turned so it is a distrust-worthy look. Probably reading too much into it but that is what struck me.

[Cheese Sandwich]

7. That guy in the middle has a great tan. Is that spray on?

[ALBliberal]

8. Rude and insensitive as well as unprofessional. But it's good to know

the level of pettiness and spitefulness they operate at. Know the enemy.

[Hiraeth]

9. hilarious. he still stands out, no matter. he is the only man w/out a tie and with glasses.

silly DNC

[merrily]

10. I'm sure that's only because Sanders refused to provide the DNC with a photo in which

he was wearing a tie and they wanted to help him out by hiding his tie area.

Oh, who am I kidding? Hey, at least I tried.

BTW, I can identify all those guys and I like O'Malley!

[merrily]

14. Bernie is 6 feet tall. Hillary's about 5'3 or 5'4" and claims 5'6".

Last time she ran, Bill said, "I can't make her younger or taller or male." Apparently, the DNC can make her taller and younger, though. Hey, 2 out 3 ain't bad.

(In a Presidential general, the taller candidate almost always wins.)

[eridani]

23. She probably was 5' 6" 40 years ago

Even with pretty decent post-menopausal bone density, I've shrunk to 5' 4 1/2" I still think of myself as 5' 6" even though the doctor's office measurement persistently says otherwise.

[Divernan]

33. But she's the only one w/ 400 war elephants!

[merrily]

34. I vill say nussing! Nussing!

[davidpdx]

39. I had no idea he was that tall

[SoapBox]

17. Regarding the tie thing...

I've no problem with that pic...it's the photo from his website!

And I HATE wearing a tie.

[JDPriestly]

42. Removed by poster.

[FlatBaroque]

25. Be grateful

Debbie didn't photoshop a couple of monster zits on Bernie's forehead.

[davidpdx]

40. I'm frankly surprised they didn't have her sitting on the other four stacked up like a couch

[MuseRider]

29. OMG this is so funny!

Really? I know, there are so many other really important things but this is just so apparent. Where will they put Bernie if Biden joins in? You gotta know Biden will take up a goodly hunk of the front row. Maybe the two in front, Clinton and Biden, the other three men in the second row and Bernie poking out between their heads? LOL, really DWS is not even trying to hide any of this. She has no shame. In fact, apparently very few of the "insiders" have no shame since they are letting her get away with this.

It won't hurt Bernie. She can't hurt Bernie, not now. The time when she might have is long past, he has his own momentum and she can't stop it. I find this funny but sad and petty. What a party. I will feel just fine going back to my old "unaffiliated" status as soon as I finish the caucus for Bernie.

[merrily]

35. No surprise. Democrats who endorse Republicans have no shame.

[JDPriestly]

43. I'd like to have a link for the picture.

I can't believe it is really done by the Democratic Party.

[MuseRider]

46. I found a link from the photo here

and it was a pbs link. I know nothing about searching for things like this. I looked around some but never saw it on any website. I might look a little more and will post if I do find it but I am totally out of my skill to look too deeply. I did go the the DNC site and found if I wanted information about the debates other than the dates I had to sign in so......not going to do that. They hassle me enough as it is.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

30. It's like Paul on the cover of Abbey Road.

Bernie doesn't have a tie on and he's in the background. Maybe he's not even wearing shoes.

[MuseRider]

36. He is the Walrus! n/t
