Obama-Biden
Even Barack Obama's new sign for the "Obama-Biden" ticket displays his ego and arrogance. Doug Ross and Director Blue has done a great job of demonstrating how out of the ordinary the new sign is for the Democratic Ticket. Take a look at the new "Obama-Biden" sign above, and then look at how the sign looked on video in the still shot from yesterday -- Biden's name just fades way!
Head over to Director Blue to see examples from past campaigns, and you will see that the Obama Campaign deliberately deemphasized Biden's name. The font is not only smaller (not that unusual for the VP), but the color blending into the blue background seems intended to make "Biden" disappear and "Obama" to stand out alone. This may be why Obama will not appear again with Obama until Wednesday of the Democratic Convention.
Here is what the Daily Kos had to say about Joe Biden back in January 2008:
Really, if we live in a just world, this will be the end of Joe Biden's political career. On Barack Obama:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
"Articulate". "Mainstream". "Bright and clean".
It's clear his career has dragged on one election cycle too many.
Notice the link from Daily Kos to Talking Points Memo leads to a page that has been scrubbed, apparently. The liberals appear to be already scrambling to remove negative statements by Biden about Obama.
