The Gallery

A look at the art of the campaign. Box art and card fronts follow.

A red carpet running up a crowded marble staircase to the Capitol dome
The climb to the top.
An elephant draped in red on a crowded convention floor
The Red lane.
A blue donkey carrying a crowd of politicians
The Blue lane.
A village church and house behind stone gate posts
Where every candidate says they're from.
Men hauling sacks of money up a red-carpeted staircase
The other kind of campaign donation.
A candidate with his head in his hands at a prayer breakfast while the men around him whisper
A rough morning at the prayer breakfast.
The Capitol at night under a stormy sky
Late session at the Capitol.
An empty red chair under a spotlight on a stage, facing a packed gallery
The hot seat.
