John McCain’s front page was celebratory. The candidate is shown with microphone in hand and patriotic confetti rains down upon a collage of supporters. The text brags about the victory and the overall message is “look! I’m popular! seriously!”
Hillary Clinton’s front page shows her in focus among a blurred background. The photo used is soft and warm with the candidate’s hand over her heart as if to say “ah. why thank y’all so much!”
Similarities:
-Both candidates used stock photo’s instead of ones taken from the night of their win.
-Both candidates are open-mouth smiling in their pictures.
-Both candidates are facing the viewers right.
That’s funny! You didn’t take the angle i thought you were going to take. I had assumed you were going to say that McCain highlighted the people power. Whereas Hillary just focused on herself, almost saying “Thanks for helping ME”- a self-centred approach. Similar to the criticism Lieberman got from the Democrats. Where instead of having a party called “Lieberman for Connecticut” it was “Connecticut for Lieberman”.
