What font says 'Change'? - The Boston Globe

Obama uses Gil Sans & Gotham
McCain uses Optima

McCain fonts:
McCains Optimum Look - Campaign Stops - 2008 Elections - Opinion - New York Times Blog

Obama fonts:
Obama finds a reliable type to deliver message - US Election - theage.com.au

I wish he didn't use the Bold Optima. Regular would have been sweeter.

I like the sticker someone quickly whipped out 24 hrs after Palins maiden speech...in the design of the McCain/Palin branding...

'Sarah Palin -•- Read my lipstick'

Did anyone see the Stephen Colbert Report last week. An African-American social conservative (John McWhorter) came on the show and explained why he was voting for Obama.

He said that if Obama gets elected, a generation of kids will grow up with an African-American president. Race would cease to be a political issue. Wouldn't that be a great thing? It's somewhat simplistic, but it's also somewhat true.

I don't know if race would just magically cease to be a political issue, but having a black president certainly would help things along.

I like the Obama font, but agree it could be gentler if it wasn't bold. On the other hand, Obama needs some to look a little more ass-kicking, so maybe bold is a good choice.
