Have a good look at the table behind Senator Clinton. Click the image for a bigger picture if you need one.

I'd love to know the back story here. Is this an accident? Does the Obama campaign have people in Obama gear who follow the candidate around to get in the shot? Did the photographer notice?

Whatever the facts, it's sort of a metaphor for the troubles of the Clinton campaign.

    Very funny. To be honest, the first thing i noticed was the lady’s shirt. What a great pic. I would bet that this was staged. Wouldn’t you?
