Capturing a photo of Axelrod smiling like this is like capturing a photo of a sasquatch. Rare and out of focus. More excellent photos from the campaign in the Newsweek commemorative issue.

Incidentally, I've been hearing predictions that advertisers will shy away from political content -- both online and in print. And I'm wondering if these writers have updated their media playbooks from the 1999 edition. This is the Obama era, and everyone is a political junkie now.
