The power of a picture.

When I was down in Indiana volunteering on Election Day and going door-to-door hanging door hangers saying 'VOTE OBAMA TODAY', what really struck me was the picture on the door hanger:



If Hillary had been the nominee and there was a picture of her and some white guy VP together, I would have had a framework to process the image, that of the domineering wife. With Obama and Biden, however, it's a black man in charge with a white man playing sidekick, and there's really nothing else like it in our culture.
