Of Pundits and Politicians

HuffPost's OffTheBus is teaming up with USC Annenberg's Center on Communication Leadership and the Institute for Photographic Empowerment to support citizens' coverage of the Democratic and Republican conventions. "Maximum Exposure" is the title of the project under which OffTheBus will be posting your photos from the Convention. Got photos or videos to contribute? Send them to [e-mail], format images to 400 x 300 pixels, and please include captions.

We've been getting quite a few pictures of various famous faces; in this slide show you'll see governors, a Speaker of the House, and former presidential candidates.

Of course, members of the press--media personalities, pundits, and actual journalists--are as frequently photographed as the politicians they cover, underlining their celebrity status. The mainstream media, of course, has largely ignored this phenomenon. They're simply not paying attention to the attention paid to them! But fear not, Maximum Exposure is watching.

See how many faces you recognize from our celeb-collection. Of course, there are explanatory captions for those unwilling to play the game. Enjoy!

I want to congratulate Megan Basske and Rebecca Shapiro for the behind the scenes photo coverage of the convention in Denver. They are doing a great service for the viewers as they are showing us scenes at the convention the mainstream media is neglecting. This is historic. Thanks, Jim Hubbard
