January 6, 2008

Here's the front page of the Concord, New Hampshire's Sunday Monitor for January 6, 2008. It's the day after a major debate by both parties, and the photo is of all the major candidates of both parties, after the debates. What's interesting about this picture? Have a look and then scroll down.

Question #1 - Where's Obama? He's in there, his head turned away from the camera, and standing in the back. You'd miss him if you blinked.

Question #2 - Is Hillary unpopular? Her face, also, is away from the camera. She doesn't appear to be talking to anyone, although it's possible McCain is acknowledging her.

Question #3 - Does it appear that the candidates are all gathered around John Edwards, congratulating him? That's how it looks to me.

I know nothing about the politics of this newspaper, but from this full color, above-the-fold, front page photo, it sure looks like they love Edwards. With the New Hampshire primary only two days away, it'll be interesting to see how Edwards does.
