This has been published awhile ago, is now slightly irrelevant topic, but I hadn’t got to it till now (viva la instapaper) and just might interest you too: As Bush was exiting the white house, Errol Morris discusses with 3 photo editors for the top news agencies about photographing the president over the past 8 years. Quite interesting considering the varying views of the agencies and photographers. Plus many examples of how the same context under a different angle sheds a much different light on the subject. •
Au fédéral, l’opposition signe une entente. L’entente en question. Notez à quel point les signatures révèlent (ou relèvent de?) la personnalité de chacun. (merci Larence) •

The Black Belt: How Soil Types Determined the 2008 Election in the Deep South. Through history, everything is linked: the late Cretaceous (85 millions years ago) with tropical seas over most of the southern states, to deposits, to rich black soils, to labor-intensive cotton production, to slavery, to civil war, to black demographics, to Obama. •
Um, pourquoi y a tant de gros dans l’armée personnelle de Mario Dumont? Ou est-ce simplement parce qu’ils portent tous le même jacket trop grand? •
Il est de retour juste à temps pour cette nouvelle campagne électorale provinciale: le-Mario-Dumont-Générateur. En version web 2.0 [sic], genre. •
I was impatiently waiting for this one: The Big Picture hosts a gorgeous collection of photographs of the new president-elect spanning over the last few months, mostly out and about the campaigning. He does look fairly slick with his ray-ban sunglasses. •
Nate Silver, who compiles and reads into the stats over at the great FiveThirtyEight, lists an hour-by-hour preview of what to out for tomorrow evening during election night, all is scheduled with the closing of polls over the country. •
This. Fucking. Election. Typographic headline topic timeline. Il manque un peu de niaiseries Palinesques là-dedans. (Merci Hugo) •
Callie Shell, photojournaliste, suit et photographie Barack Obama depuis quelques années. Elle affiche et commente une série de photos prises au cours des différentes campagnes du politicien, traçant tranquillement son ascension vers la maison blanche. Tant de très grands moments publics que des moments au repos, plus intimes, avec ses proches. •
Powell endorses Obama. And not in a simple I-take-sides-with-winner-to-be one could have expected, but in a genuine care and appreciation of Obama’s view, tolerance and policies. You feel that he is truly concerned for America, believing change is necessary and that change is possible.
“Because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities, and we have to take that into account… as well as his substance … he has both style and substance. Because he has met the standard of being a successful President… being an exceptional President. I think he is a transformational figure; he is a new generation coming onto the world stage… onto the American stage… and for that reason I will be voting for Senator Barack Obama.”
•NYT, t’es mon héros de design d’information. J’adore cette carte de l‘électorat américain divisé par district. Justement divisé, elle est visuellement beaucoup plus compréhensible. Malgré tout, je suis tellement inquiet pour ce qui va se décider au urnes. •
USA political election logos 2008 – 1960. De plus en plus de serifs et d‘étoiles avec le temps, toujours rouge et bleu peu importe le parti. Obama se démarque pas mal dans la cuvée 2008: simple, élégant, sans prétention, à point. Mes préférés: Pete Du Pond (88), Hughes (72), McCloskey (72), Nixon Now (72). •
