This has led to some great conversations between Chris and I about symbology, communication and greater meanings behind such things. Since politics is really all about marketing anyways, it is profoundly interesting to me and with my background in art history and Chris' in communication we may just start another thread.

To echo Alex, it is a style I like. Of course, had I survived the Stalinist era, or had contact with my distant relatives who actually did (or didn't) I might feel differently. This is much more in line with soviet era, rather than Nazi era posters, at least when it comes to Triumph of the Will.  .I'm not looking at anything at the moment, but I think there were stylelistically similar "hopefull" and idealic posters extoling life in Germany as part of the propaganda of the Nazis. Anyway, I digress and do not mean to derail as my original intent was to let people know if there was abn interest in the interesting obama poster, where you might have a shot at getting one. I never did manage to get on to the site, so I missed my chance. If Obama does not win the nomination, then I may get lucky on ebay.

I did a look on ebay, sheesh, the prices people are asking for this. For that kind of money screw Obama, I'd buy another Valentino poster!
