One of my favorite things is seeing what kind of chair Martin is standing on on any given day! He really likes to be able to look out and see the crown.

...but I think it helps to have visuals to go with the reporting on these candidates and pols to get a closer feel for how they appear at these events.
They need to anticipate his perch, I think, and make sure they've got a sturdy platform for my candidate to stand on.

Thanks for posting these and keep up the good work.

It's DELICIOUS! Charlie Trotter only used Maytag Blue Cheese. (But he's passed, and his eponymous restaurant in Chicago has closed.)
