After Hillary Clinton's 10-point win over Barack Obama, there are lots of traditional photos out of Pennsylvania tonight, but the one that caught my eye was from Saturday, in the rain, in McKeesport, Pa.

No matter whom you support, that's an amazing photo of a presidential candidate. It looks like a poster you'd see in the display case outside a movie theater. I want to put type on it.

(Update: A reader with graphic skills turned it into a poster just for fun, and emailed it to me -- see it here.)

Later: The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer's lead headline: Do not pass go, go straight to Leno.

The new p.a. system sounds like a nice prize for a campaigner, but is it worthy of the lead?

Yeah, she looks like a rock star.

My voice is still "rock and roll woman" but I sure don't look it on the outside. :)

This is such an amazing photo. How can I buy a copy?

You might try contacting the Associated Press. The photographer was Charles Dharapak, April 19 in McKeesport, Pa. --sheila

We just let the better and only Democratic candidate slip away. the DNC should accept responsibility for handing the election to the McCain Campaign. I'm not an Independent. Wherever Hillary goes, I'll support her.
