Clinton and Media Photos

I've been monitoring the media photos of Hillary Clinton and I recently noticed another batch of unflattering photos of her in the pool coverage.

"US Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) (R) gestures to Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell during a campaign event at the Forum in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania March 11, 2008. REUTERS/Tim Shaffer (UNITED STATES) US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN 2008" (source)

Although the picture below is not in and of itself unflattering--Mrs. Clinton looks perfectly posed--there is another problem: it fosters the image (pun intended) that Bill Clinton is in charge. It would be this image that would cause so much trouble later on.


"New York Senator and Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton listens as her husband, former US President Bill Clinton, speaks at a rally at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa on July 3." (source)

In the interest of fairness, I thought I would post a photo I saw in the news of John McCain, which is certainly not flattering.


"Republican nominee-in-waiting, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., accompanied by Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, and others, greets the crowd during a campaign stop at Howley's Restaurant, Thursday, March 6, 2008 in West Palm Beach, Fla." (source)
