“Electoral Perversity”

by digby

For those who are looking for something besides the usual primary blather, I want to recommend this excellent series that BagNewsNotes is running this week. Michael Shaw has commissioned award winning photographer Alan Chin to photograph the primaries through a non-MSM prism. The shots are incredible — and tell a bunch of very different stories than the one we are hearing.

Chin’s observations are also pungent and revealing:

Notice Lieberman also toting a microphone. Although the press seemed to ignore it, the event in Derry was as much a joint appearance. Chin notes that Lieberman held the floor almost as long as McCain. Alan adds: ” Lieberman stands at McCain’s side like some ghost of electoral perversity. Imagine the thought of the vice presidential loser of one political party repeating the feat for the other party?

I can see it, unfortunately.

Obama will be featured next, which should be very interesting. The crowds are reportedly gigantic.
