I like this picture because it is more or less symmetrical (the flags, the folded hands of Gore and Biden, the lights above the men at the table) and it is super-American looking. I mean, here are three of America’s most powerful men each dwarfed by a tall American flag on a pole. Look at those suits, pressed and cleaned like no other. This picture is full of awesome.
You can see a bigger image at the WSJ.

I just came back from Union Square where there’s a mega gathering going on to celebrate the election of Obama as President. Given the blue-state nature of New York, it’s no surprise to me that this happened as soon as the news broke out. Anyway, Norman, Simon and I stopped by and joined in on the festivities which included a huge (like, really really really big) flag being brought out and carried over people’s heads.
More photos inside. I took some videos as well, but I’ll post that later when I get it together.
