Less newsy, but better memorabilia

So, the front pages after the election were pretty much all the same.

Obama makes history.

Obama Wins.

Change... 

Fill in adjectives, rearrange words, and you have a nation wide base of like 12 words that described the historic victory in our nation.  Every front page. 12 words. Give or take.

Even though they more or less all said the same thing, the presentation was different, and some were more appealing than others.  Oddly enough, people were dying to get a copy of the Chicago Tribune.  My mother told me they were selling for like $500 on Ebay, now whether that was an exaggeration or not, I have not checked, but I saw that paper and I thought it was nothing THAT special.

I really liked the papers that made the standard "Obama wins" pop with a little flair.  

The Bakersfield Californian took out the story, and let the picture speak.  The quotes along the side merely helped the picture along, but the story was told though the smiling, waving man.  It is about HIM not about the fact that he is historical, this is NOW, and all the stories saying how amazing he is puts a lot of pressure on him.  Let Obama enjoy his victory, he has a long time to worry about the rest.

The same with this front page, but the ban on gay marriage teaser takes away from the prominence of the image.

I don't know why, I mean I know that these front pages I like are less "newsy" but I think they are special.  More like collector's editions, because this only happens once.  Whether he is reelected it doesn't matter.  Having a special front page makes it seem more special, and less like news as usual

I think this one might be my favorite, because it shows both of them.  It has a positive message, because as much as it is Obama, Biden was a big part of this campaign as well.  Yes we can, showing an image of them as a team sends a positive message.  Yes, they can, together.

This front page, The Examiner made me laugh, because seriously, after everything that happened the night before.  The AMAZING pictures everyone else got, they seriously ran an image from some random DAY.  DAYTIME.  Seriously, if you are gonna pick a picture that is not of that day, pick one that can pass off as it.  Not during the day, that's just lazy.
