Irish Local Election Candidate Photos
There will be local elections in Ireland in early June, so the candidates are currently trying to get as much publicity as possible. The Internet now forms a crucial part of most candidates’ campaigns. However, some candidates have more interesting online presences than others…

It is debatable which photo is more likely to gain votes for her, but I guess that it depends on which segment of voters she is trying to attract!
This story comes from Elections Thread. Alternatively, I could have posted this article as yet another story of people not realising the loss of privacy associated with Facebook. I expect more similar incidents in the future…
