Super PACS, welders, women, the singing candidate, plutocats and political “movie trailers”: The stars of the six campaign ads we’re more than happy to say goodbye to this year (Good. Riddance.).
Sometimes, when it comes to reflection, words only go so far.
These are some of the most interesting moments that caught our eye in 2012. Check out what other photos grabbed our attention this year here.
“Presidential Campaign Posters” is a visual anthology of election season artwork — images that capture the public sentiment, issues and prevailing design trends of a given campaign era.
More posters from the Library of Congress’ book here.
We’re looking for voters from Pennsylvania to tell us what issues matter to them this election season.
Spread the word and fill out this form if you’re from the Keystone State - thanks!

Ron Paul addressed a crowd of supporters Tuesday night in Springfield, Va., on the evening of the Michigan and Arizona primaries. “This country does not need another war at all,” Paul told the crowd.
“And so it begins: What will Republicans say to appeal to Latino voters? Which way will they vote? Will Latino strategies offer a foretaste of campaigns to come when the primary calendar moves west? What will the candidates say about this country’s Cuba policy?
All very interesting, to be sure, but not determinative of anything much. There’s plenty to say about the Latino vote in 2012 … just not yet.”
-Ray Suarez on why the 2012 Hispanic vote doesn’t matter…yet.
