3. I like your sig pic
It makes it look like Obama is trying to minimize "Intellience and Integrity"

2. Actually Kerry and Edwards couldn't agree whether is should be help or hope...
So the campaign printed both on the signs.

I think Kerry said "help" and Edwards said "hope" -- interesting that this distinction has now occurred in two elections.

What do you think the two words elicit -- how would they impact people differently?

4. How is hope not help?
Hope implies self-reliance. It plays better in the purple states where they still cling to the myth of small government.

7. We have been "hoping" things would get better for over 7 years now.
I think we are ready for some "help". She is right about that. Hope will only get you so far since it is an emotion. We need tangible help now. I am sure you could go back and accuse every candidate that has run of "stealing a slogan". That is because they all try to tell us what they think we want to hear. Let us not forget for a minute that they are politicians, not saviors.
