The Orlando Sentinel has a short piece up on its Web site about how they were able to get Sens. Obama and McCain to pose for photos to be used in the paper's upcoming football preview edition. As for the photos themselves, the Sentinel was nice enough to Photoshop together a nice side-by-side shot of the two candidates. And once again, Obama manages (some how, some way /snark) to win the image battle ...

So what can we surmise from these photos? Well for starters, Sen. Obama knows how to hold a football. But he's always clearly been the more athletic, sports-inclined of the two. I'm just wondering (and I hope you guys can help me out), what on earth does John McCain think he's holding? I've seen infants figure out the proper way to hold mini footballs. McCain? No idea. Although first thought that came to mind: the Miss Buffalo Chip trophy that Cindy won. :)
What do you think McCain is holding? No poll, have fun with this one.
