Several weeks ago when I first started this blog a member of the campaign was telling me about her camera woes, explaing that she kept forgetting to bring the camera when she went to campaign events with Kathleen Thomas. Because Dr. Thomas is grassroots (and not Mark Kirk) she doesn't have a guy with a camera following her around, so if the campaign wants a picture someone needs to remember to bring the camera.
The concept of taking pictures however, did not even become an important issue until Dr. Thomas was taking a tour of a building. The person giving the tour was surprised they did not have a camera with them, remarking that candidates had been through before only for a photo op. It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but in the world of politics a picture is simply posing for the constituents.
