… for the worst presidential logo ever. Really, that thing is horrible. Even someone like me who has pretty poor Photoshop skills looks at that and just has to assume someone spent a few seconds in Microsoft Paint to put that thing together. Compare it to Edwards, Obama, Clinton, Romney.
(for the record I think the best logo in a long time was the ‘04 Bush/Cheney logo)
Brokeback? That would jibe with all his gay evangelical supporters.
Maybe it was designed by the same person that assists Brownback in his policy decisions.
What, did you expect Brownback to assemble a team of sensible people?
LMAO! Bush/Cheney. Eat the poor!
I’ve always thought this guy would make a good president.
“Mitt Romney : The Exploratory Committee 2008″ ??
wtf is that? some sort of beltway insider narrative devise?
Ian, I’m not exactly sure what your point is, but if it’s that Sam Brownback is too rightwing/extreme for Republican voters and that’s currently why he is so far down in the polls for the Republican nomination, I’d call that, how should we say, willfully ignorant.
Brownback isn’t the media whore that John McCain is and consequently doesn’t have the name recognition to register on most voters’ radars yet.
So of course Brownback isn’t widely supported by Republican voters; most of the Republican base doesn’t have a clue who the guy is. But his positions match up closer to George Bush’s than any of the current ‘08 GOP “frontrunners”. That’s why the folks at RedState have been hyping Brownback for months. And I’ve got no problem with it. I’d love for the Repubs to go with their gut and nominate someone who shares their “values”. It’s been a long eight years and I’m more than ready to have a Democrat move back into the Whitehouse.
Ian, tell me where the O-man indicated “wide support” for Brownback?
I must have missed it. Oh, there it is, next to that windmill, eh?
That’s not a logo, that’s just some text and a flag. Logos are designed. That just looks like a coincidental juxtaposition of two objects.
Here, this took all of seven minutes to make and it’s better.

Ian, take your “far left” and shove it.
Find out what things mean before you say them in future.
Brownback’s opposition to abortion and gay marriage, and his platform against wasteful federal spending and for compassionate and practical programs to help the poor, energy independence, stopping cancer, term limits for judges and members of Congress, and a flat tax, isn’t going to win the nomination. He has alienated the core of his chosen conservative constituency by opposing the revised Iraq strategy and by supporting a path to citizenship for some of the nation’s 11 million illegal aliens.
Brownback’s campaign is Quixotic. Even though he first announced he was running on December 4, a new Washington Post and ABC News poll finds Brownback supported by only 1 percent. That’s the same level of support CNN and Pew polls found for Brownback in November.
What a beauty. Simple, yet inspiring. The flag waving in the gentle wind represents the wind of change Brokeback will bring to this nation. The empty blue space on top represents God (and His support for the Republican agenda). Times New Roman = Class.
Couldn’t agree more, Oliver, the whole imagery conveys nothing more or less than “sinking”.
R.
Please tell me that Hillary Clinton’s is a joke. Please. Maybe as a woman I’m over-sensitive to female candidates being less than serious. But she’s one of the first who has a real chance of winning, and she doesn’t even have a last name? What is this, a prom queen election?
Say “Hillary”, you don’t think of the guy who climbed Everest.
I like the symbolic touch of green on the Edwards logo. And I LOVE “eat the poor”!
sv: She got away with it twice in NYS so far…
Next thing you know, when someone says “Clinton” she’ll be saying “Wha?” like Vinnie Barbarino…
NG :: That’s unfortunate, given the fact that what Sir Edmund Hillary did was far greater than anything Senator Clinton will ever do, even if she — God forbid — becomes President.
Edmund Hillary climbed a fucking mountain, I mean bully for him and all but in the pantheon of things it isn’t doing much for more than yourself.
You say Hillary “got away” with it like the people of New York were collectively too dumb to know that the second most well-known woman in America (I’m guessing Oprah is #1) isn’t named Clinton. She’s trying to brand herself as more approachable than her current image, and its why she’s using her first name.
C’mon Oliver, don’t you think that “Clinton ‘08″ would simply remind too many people of, well, Bill Clinton?
Maybe Rush Limbaugh hasn’t been off the mark on this one — I have no trouble envisioning “Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Rodham.”
And for the last time, please, Republicans do not eat the poor! They only eat children, except for dark ones, because they hate dark people.
If it’s good enough for Jeb!, it’s good enough for Hillary!
C’mon Oliver, don’t you think that “Clinton ‘08″ would simply remind too many people of, well, Bill Clinton?
Of course not.
Maybe the problem was that with the name Clinton stapled to all those telephone poles, all of New York’s liberals, of whom there are many, would have too many car accidents as they attempted to genuflect while driving by.
BTW, if Bush gets dissed for not showing up at the RTL March, does Brownback get props for showing up?
I won’t hold my breath.
