Just in time for Election Day, Dan Mayer has some serious eye candy.

The local creative is an instructional specialist at ASU who runs the university's book arts/letterpress studio. In the studio, Mayer says students learn fine typography through handset type, print on hand presses, resulting in limited-edition handmade books, prints and artists books.

And tomorrow, he's welcoming the public to play student and handprint their own keepsake on a letterpress and "get a hands-on sense of history as it unfolds throughout the Election Day."

Political advertising has been around since the age of politics (and since anyone thought to scratch their candidate's name into stone), but the art of sharing information while visually persuading voters and slamming your political opponents has evolved since it began airing on television in 1952.

Marshall Reese and Antoni Muntadas are no strangers to political advertising. The two international artists have gathered short clips and rare spots used in campaigns every presidential election since 1984.

Because nothing expresses irony and outrage quite like a meme, thousands took to the internet after last night's debate to add their own response to Mitt Romney's sound bite on workplace inequality for women.

When he spoke about recruiting women for his cabinet, Romney said he and hist staff "'went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks,' and they brought us whole binders full of women.'"

Within minutes, "Binders Full of Women" had its own Twitter hashtag (#bindersfullofwomen), Facebook page with hundreds of thousands of likes, and a Tumblr page dedicated to countless memes. Here are a few of our favorites:

No election campaign is complete without bobble heads, bumper stickers, accessories, and attire. But we have to appreciate those enterprising individuals who check outside the box, taking the political theme way too far.

In the spirit of crap we wish existed, we present the first half of our political kitsch wishlist (Obama Edition coming soon). Here are five political absurdities (Jan Brewer's recent Obama endorsement not included) that you can start buying or start making right now.
