Democrats vs. Republicans.

Rarely have I seen a graphic better sum up the core, true nature of the two major parties better than the Des Moines Register's caucus guides.

The Republicans are all in neat rows, ready to stand up and be counted. You get the feeling that their shoes are shined, their buttons buttoned, their hair slicked back, and ready to salute flag and leader. Hell: you could replace 'em with robots.

The Democrats meanwhile are an unruly mob of people standing around random signs. They apparently have a half hour in between when the congregate and when the action is allowed to start, presumably because freaking hippies can't be on time for anything.

Coming up soon, a new feature.
