Obama supporters on Temple's campus by Brianna Barry
Volunteers for the Obama campaign set up tables on Temple's campus to sell T-shirts and other campaign materials, bring awareness to the candidate and help sign people up for more information. Shirts with sayings like "Si, se puede!" (Yes, we can) and Obama Girl showcase the vast demographic reached by the candidate. Volunteers from as far as St. Louis were on site talking with students.

Hillary Supporters by Christina Mazza
A Hillary Clinton supporter works on pitching a large sign across the street from the National Constitution Center the day of the Clinton vs. Obama debate last Wednesday.
Hillary Clinton supporter Carlos Soto traveled all the way from Texas. Here he cheers out of a mini van window to other Clinton supporters across from the National Constitution Center hours before the Clinton-Obama debate.

Politics or WWE RAW? By Ryan Judge
Speaking as a man disenfranchised from the whole political scene, I do find myself watching coverage of the primaries on the television. Sitting down and allowing the radiation to grill my eyeballs to the point of popping, there is something even more inherently evil with focusing on the public relations hoopla going on in my home state. Wolf Blitzer, FOX News, MSNBC, even CSPAN go from being amusing parodies of life filmed from a bunker miles and miles away into a streaker running around my front porch, hooting and hollering.
Apparently the candidates aim to have a bit on the professional wrestling program, WWE RAW. As Robin Williams has said, "it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there."

Get Out the Vote by Kelly McManus
Delmas, a volunteer from New York, supported Obama by handing out
pins and flyers to advertise for the rally that took place April 18th.
I found him on the corner of Walnut and Broad handing out flyers. He
handed out thousands of pins and flyers, including the one he gave
this woman, Beverly. Beverly and her daughter receiving a flyer from
Delmas.
