The Obama Show.

• Caroline beat me to this one, but this photo essay of Obama on the campaign trail should not be missed. My favorite lines:

“I loved that he cleaned up after himself before leaving an ice cream shop in Wapello, Iowa. He didn’t have to. The event was over and the press had left. He is used to taking care of things himself and I think this is one of the qualities that makes Obama different from so many other political candidates I’ve encountered.”
…
“Two staffers had just passed this site and done two pull-ups. Not to be outdone, Obama did three with ease, dropped and walked out to make a speech.”

(HTs: Andrew Sullivan and Caroline)

• This month’s GQ ran a spread of the various players from the Presidential campaign. Obama’s shot is suitably epic.
