While we are all looking at how the candidates are using the web and how the web is using the candidates, I think I have discovered an interesting twist: how the web is not using the candidates. In the wake of the anti-Hillary 1984 video on YouTube, I discovered that the Washington Post print edition (3/25/07, pA8) ran an incredibly scary looking photo of Hillary (below) from 1996 that really drives the "Big Sister" image home. But the Post did not run the photo online. In fact, I have yet to find a copy of this photo online anywhere, though I would really like to.

While this photo was supposed to demonstrate Clinton's connection to legendary labor organizer Saul Alinksy, to me, all it does is raise the hairs on the back of my neck. Regardless of my reaction, though, this is a brilliant, if not flattering, photo of Hillary and it creates an image that seems straight out of The Exorcist. I wonder, if she were not running for president, would the Post have put it online?
