I feel that way about most of the candidates.

I don't think there was a single candidate running this year that is dumb. There were a whole lot that I disagree with strongly on many and perhaps even most issues.

But that doesn't make them dumb.

I don't think most politicians are dumb. I think most are slimey and would sell their mother to get elected. But not dumb.

Now, now, scaeagles, no fair singling out Senator Clinton

Every time I see Scaeagles avatar, I think he's switched to Obama - I know it's a twist on the "hope" poster, but I see it as still promoting the image and strengthening the iconic imagery.

I just thought it was funny. I also saw one with "Dope", but thought this was was better - no naming calling, but a clever twist on his campaign.

I still think in the campaign of the subconscious he is winning because you have already adopted his symbology

Except that there's no way in hell I'll vote for the man, and nothing I do or say or have in an avater here will stop anyone from voting for the man.

But it does get me thinking.....if this starts getting plastered everywhere, does it promote him because it is so close to his campaign stuff, or does it adversely affect his campaign stuff because people will think of the parody version of it when they see the real thing?

I think he wins becasue he controls the image, and it makes people think of him in the role of president, and any parody message invokes the original message subliminally. In other words it will do nothing to change anyone who's mind is already made up, but it reinforces his message for those still on the fence.

It's only June, and I'm already stuck in the "lesser of two evils" choice for President. Can't vote for Nader, I loathe Barr's politics, McCain is pushing a conservative (moral) agenda with his comments about the Supreme Court, and Obama is turning out to be the politician I hoped he wouldn't be. Yuck.

It's all about image, baby.
