A Picture Worth 1000 Words


A Picture is worth a thousand words. And a good picture (like this one) is what every campaign dreams of. That's because people are more likely to judge you based on how you look than on the actual words you say.

So if you're a political candidate, it's important to realize that every person (or item) on stage will either detract or enhance your "message." It really doesn't matter who is standing in front of the candidate -- in the audience (the audience usually won't make it into the picture). What matters more is that there are people standing behind you on stage.
It's also important that you have double-sided signs. If your signs only point to the stage, they don't make it into the picture.
As you can see, this is an excellent picture of Sam Brownback from yesterday's March for Life. Well done!
