Note: An election campaign takes off in many directions. The following represents, what-ifs, issues, opposition, not-so-shiney messages. Admit it, deep down these are our faves.

At this point we will stop with the images below as we seek more McCain messaging. Obama inspired a huge creative following. See more Obama via the very best collection the obama art report—it’s still coming in.
