Matt, no, as a retired soldier and father of a Marine, I want a President who understands that sometimes you have to stand up to the bullies that terrorize the innocent. I fully understand the debate on “should we be there” it doesnt matter, we are there so now the debate should be “how do we leave it better than we found it?”, we did in Japan, Germany, Korea and Italy. We have been in some of those places for over 50 years, (I served in several) and oddly people there respect us and consider us friends.

Anyway, just my two cents, I could be wrong.

Roger — you’d prefer a president who believes he has been anointed by God?

The very idea that this young man might be our next Commander In Chief doesn’t just scare the heck out of you? This isn’t some game, this is the big leagues, this is a guy who sat in a church for 20 years and never heard anything.

Sure, Republicans can and should, as well, but if their pool of sympathetic creative talent begins with Dennis Miller and ends at Toby Keith, I’ll take an assumptive leap and suggest the Dems hold a colossal resource advantage here.

Why is it just progressive candidates that should reach out? I don’t think there’s anything inherently liberal or conservative about good design, especially if it helps sell a candidate.

The McCain poster is a little over the top, but for the overuse of texturing, borders, and too many colors, not the god-head of the Senator. But it does reach for his core audience and the protect america values he’s promoting in his campaign, and does it with some of the better design than I’ve seen from his campaign so far.
