7. All are self-inflicted though! The Obama team must be partying!
I know they are still putting out the anti McNuts ads, but they're getting so much help from McNuts & Palin, it's become a JOKE!

8. McCain in Republican Red---the color of anger, hate, and war.
A good and vivid contrast with the Dem blue. Blue, the color of peace.

17. You all have the sing their songs now!
SNOWMISER

I'm Mister White Christmas
I'm Mister Snow
I'm Mister Icicle
I'm Mister Ten Below
Friends call me Snow Miser
What ever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch
I'm too much!

HEATMISER

I'm Mister Green Christmas
I'm Mister Sun
I'm Mister Heat Blister
I'm Mister Hundred and One
They call me Heat Miser,
What ever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
I'm too much!

And it's ironic that Obama is hailing out of cold Illinois and McLame from hot Arizona! :rofl:

19. Don't Republicans associate the color red with communism?
Not a good look for McCain.

Obama looks very Presidential in that rendering.

23. We read from left to right. Obama's on the left. This makes him look good.
In movies, typically the good guy comes from the left side of the screen and the villain from the right.

Our eyes naturally move from left to right while reading, so when presented with two different people, we tend to subconsciously view the one on the right as "different" or "odd" or even "the bad guy".

I wonder if the Newsweek graphics artists are aware of this.

28. McBush looks like a Red Devil on that cover.
Kinda looks like Good Vs. Evil.

Need some horns on that McDevil.

33. There's your difference. Obama believes in global warming. McCain causes it.
Republicans = train wreck

37. Obama looks serious and thoughtful; McCain, skeptical and belligerent.
