Ahmed votes for McCain (or his poster)

Apparently I won't get any points for helping Team McCain choose the winner of the McCain Poster Contest (maybe the team is trying to avoid the hint of vote-buying), but I voted anyway. I wanted to pick the scariest poster, and narrowed it down to these 3:



The first poster, with the big head watching little John and Cindy, repeats that "Two McCains" theme as in the green screen McCain YouTube video, a symbol that the campaign could easily parlay into a Big Brother motif.

The second poster puts McCain into a kind of shadow ("shadow government"?), and cuts off part of his forehead, creating a Frankenstein's monster vibe.

The third is kind of cheery (considering the mean facial expression), but it does provide the kind of frightfulness that results when Republicans attempt to be funny. Plus the "raise McCain" phrase could be extended to "raise McCain from the dead" (there's that Frankenstein motif again).

I chose the second poster for pure primal fear--it's the one I'd most hate to see posted in a dark alley at night. Jeepers!
