With so much vitriol in a campaign - the accusations, personal attacks and Paris Hilton - sometimes it's nice to just see some cute kids. The bloggers at Yes We Can (Hold Babies), a couple of college students from Massachusetts, say their mission as "the international source for pictures of Obama holding babies" is to uphold the storied tradition of politicians scoring brownie points by kissing babies at public events.
Slant: Pro-Obama and people who love cute babies

Meghan McCain, John McCain's 24-year-old daughter, chronicles the election through her own pictures and musings while on the campaign trail with her family. Meghan runs with blog with help from a photographer and producer who also travel with the McCain campaign. The photos are the biggest draw for this site, capturing both the public rally atmosphere and life-living on the "Straight Talk Express" campaign bus.
