16. he used two photos

His campaign used one photograph of him crouched on the ground with a rifle, and it was immediately disparaged by the press because he didn't have a combat assignment. The ad was pulled and replaced with one featuring the above-mentioned military journalist photo.

It happened pretty fast and was probably buried by the media's breathless trashing of earth tones, alpha males, and George Bush's alcoholism, AWOL, and cocaine use. Oh, wait, they didn't cover the last three.
