The greatest photo at an Obama event I have seen. And the best one for McCain, too.

[Faygo Kid]

Today in Berlin, the finest photos of the diversity and meanings of the respective campaigns appeared. Bar none:

No kidding here. Just the facts. These are legit, and capture it all.

[bigwillq]

5. The McCain guy only had half a beard.

You had to see the other side of his face. Clean shaven. Bizarre.

Diversity vs. so white bread he needs an umbrella. That about sums it up.

[Egnever]

13. Wow that top pic is amazing

[EffieBlack]

15. Oh - My - God! The Obama photo is AMAZING!!!

The McCain pic, not so much . . .

[Faygo Kid]

17. As a 50-something white guy, I am just extraordinarily moved by that photo.

It says everything about the kind of world I want to live in.

[Captain Angry]

19. Here's hoping we all look like that in a few months.

If he's elected, I might have to get a blanket and start camping out two months early for the inauguration route.

[Faygo Kid]

20. I can skip the inauguration. But not the rededication of the Lincoln Memorial on the Bicentennial.

Of Lincoln's birth, February 12, 2009. If there is one event in my life I will not miss, it is President Obama rededicating the Lincoln Memorial on that date.

I don't need to attend anything else, as much as I need to attend that event. I pray it happens.

[Captain Angry]

21. I hadn't heard about that. Wow.

I'll go look it up now, but why is it being rededicated?

[Captain Angry]

22. 200th birthday, got it.

Interesting site they have for the Bicentennial.

Man I'm glad it won't be Bush in charge for this one.

[Faygo Kid]

23. Because it's the Bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. Here's a link.

I have contacted them to get involved. If Obama wins and is president, February 12, 2009, will be a transformative date in American history.

And I will be there. Guaranteed.

24. Good for you.

Have you heard back yet, or are you just on their list?

And, if I'm camping out for two months between the election and inauguration day, what's another month to be there for that? :-)

[CitizenLeft]

25. that's a keeper - I saved it to my collection.

What a great day for all of us!

[Whisp]

27. great Obama pic!

that guy at the back holding up the woman on his shoulders looks like a young James Spader around Stargate time. ;)

[MiniMe]

28. Is that Carville in the crowd trying to get close to Obama

:rofl:

[Supersedeas]

29. the Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Auto, Big Beverage Media doesn't know what to do with the comparison

[demokatgurrl]

30. That's a beautiful pic but....

I am a bit nervous that people are allowed to get so close, in such a tight mob.Yes, I'm paranoid.

[FredScuttle]

32. That one's pretty good

but my personal favorite is from, I believe, the night he clinched the nomination in Minneapolis. He was engulfed by a crowd of all different races, genders, etc. and every single person radiated utter joy on their faces.

Anyone have it?

[Phx_Dem]

33. Hey dude.

I think your dog shit on your unbrella. I hate it when that happens. :banghead:
