Last night over 5000 people packed into the warehouse at Pier 30 for a campaign rally with Senator Hillary Clinton, and many more were turned away for lack of room. Today Senator Barack Obama will hold a noontime Stand for Change rally at Key arena, doors open at 11 AM. And this evening Senator John McCain will be at the Weston for a fund raising dinner at 6 PM, and afterward meet campaign volunteers and the public, leaving by 9 PM. Our Washington caucuses are tomorrow, and they should be lively! These posters by a local artist (if you know the person, let me know) were distributed by the artist last fall and someone completely covered four concrete pillars at the north end of the Ballard Bridge where it passes over Leary Way. Paris Daily Photo recently featured a collage by artist and skateboarder Shepard Fairey of Obey Giant fame who had a show of his street art at a Paris gallery, and who has designed 3 official Obama posters, but these pictured here are not his design.
