Though much of the time it is anything but beautiful. Politics often showcases frustrating partisan debate, rampant blame thrust on opposing candidates, and everyone's favorite, accusatory TV commercials.

This leads me to wonder, why can't more candidates find a way to speak to such gifted artists? The world could be so much more picturesque.
