The New York Times has a fun blog post about
Drawing the V.P. Candidates.
"Political cartoonists and caricaturists have their jobs cut out for them this presidential election. John McCain and Barack Obama have such distinctive physical traits that they are almost caricatures themselves. Indeed, the challenge for these illustrators is not capturing the top of the tickets but rather the bottom. Although Joseph Biden and Sarah Palin are easily picked out in a crowd, their satiric soft spots have not really been identified — or targeted."
It goes on to describe the various attempts to find distinguishing features and includes a lot of drawings.
