Final Countdown

I meant to make a post regarding this a long time ago, but now it seems even more timely.

After religiously following election news for the past few months and watching all of the debates and forums, I believe that the best interviews with the candidates occurred at Saddleback Church.

If you missed Saddleback Church’s Civil Forum I recommend that you watch it in full. Both candidates had an hour of one-on-one questioning by Pastor Warren and it painted a telling picture of each candidate, their world view, and how they would approach the presidency.

When A Leader Appears

This week both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton spoke on campus and I was fortunate enough to get to photograph them with my new job for the marketing and public relations office.

Surprisingly enough, I found Hillary’s event much more enjoyable than Barack’s. This is most likely due to the fact that she did a policy speech rather than a flowery speech with little substance. And did anyone else realize that Obama uses teleprompters at the majority of his speeches? You can see them on either side of him below. I always thought he spoke extemporaneously like Huckabee does.

My favorite picture I took – a classic Drudge Report style photo.

I can’t make an entry for two democrats without plugging my own party. Advance voting in Georgia begins today. Find your county’s special advance polling place here. Below is a great new video made by a Huckabee supporter.
