On March 15, 2008 I photographed the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Pittsburgh. This large annual parade in Pittsburgh is one of the largest in the country, and this year it fell in the midst of a Democratic primary for President in Pennsylvania that was surprisingly unsettled by this point. Both the Clnton and Obama campaigns were out in force among the crowd during the parade. In fact, Senator Hillary Clinton walked in the parade. These green O’bama campaign signs were being handed out and waved about by very sincere young campaign volunteers. This one was left on the sidewalk where it was walked on by revelers leaving the morning parade.
