I believe that our photographs at Brilliant Politics are among the best of the 2008 presidential campaign. Six of our top ten were taken by Martin Saunders, and the other four were taken by me. Larger versions of Martin Saunders’ photos can be seen here. After looking at Time’s Top Ten Election Photos earlier today, I realized that many of our photographs are better. Judge for yourself, and let us know what you think.
