Hillary's Study

I thought this NYT front page image today was particularly smart. Obviously, it is not lost on the Mandy Grunwald's of the political consulting world how much the gender backlash (or, as one reader here coined it, the "anti-anti-Hillary" backlash) also represents an enormous opportunity.

Iron My Shirt

It wasn't until Josh Marshall called out this incident, paired with Hillary's emotional moment, as the week's two defining moments, that I looked a little harder at the news photo of the  "Iron My Shirt" incident.

God Bless Israel (And The Holy Land Junket)

I know this is snarky, but I got a laugh out of this WH shot of Bush (with Olmert and Peres) on the ground in Israel.

Our Man In New Hampshire #7: The Chelsea Factor

What I was most interested in thinking out (based on Alan Chin's images) is what happened between last Saturday, after the Clinton campaign had been battered in Iowa, and this past Monday, the day before the poll-defying New Hampshire victory.

Our Man In New Hampshire #5: Mill Worker Mission

Just got the first couple shots in from Alan on John Edwards.  I'm tied up for a few hours this morning and also need to catch Chin on the road before pulling the set together.  He says that Edwards actually has one more event scheduled this afternoon whereas the...

Crying About Clinton

In part, I think the current regard for "bulletproof strength" and (supposedly) "invulnerable will" has been juiced to the standard it has by this Administration as a political defense to protect the absolutely profound character weakness and poverty of feeling of one George W....  If you watch this clip...

Clinton: Ho Hum And Worse

With the Clinton's, it's hard to tell how much the darkening visual coverage is illustrative -- given the poll numbers and perceived momentum -- or plain mean.

New Hampshire Debate: Spit Shine

The way a snickering John McCain was peppering Romney with cheap shots in the debate last night, he even made the Huckster seem like a grown up.

New Hampshire Debate: Seeing Hillary More Like People Who Know Her Do

The problem with Hillary's beautifully freewheeling response last night to John Edwards -- in a minute defined much more by passion than anger -- is the stark contrast it drew with her "expression of self" the rest of the time.
