I haven't decided who I am supporting yet...but if you go to
gohunter08.com (link above)
...Hunter's website, you'll see that the apostrophe in his logo is backwards!!
It should (heaven forbid!) curl to the left to be correct.
Microsoft Word doesn't format apostrophes correctly unless they are in the middle of a word...but really, they're trying to say "20'08."
Because of this problem, most other campaigns are just using 2008.
I have a call into the campaign to warn them about this and about having more stuff printed up (bumper stickers, yard signs).
Just a heads-up! (This is what I get for having been an English major....)

Are you sure your a English major?
Showing omission of letters
Apostrophes are used in contractions. A contraction is a word (or set of numbers) in which one or more letters (or numbers) have been omitted. The apostrophe shows this omission. Contractions are common in speaking and in informal writing. To use an apostrophe to create a contraction, place an apostrophe where the omitted letter(s) would go. Here are some examples:
don't = do not
I'm = I am
he'll = he will
who's = who is
shouldn't = should not
didn't = did not
could've= could have (NOT "could of"!)
'60 = 1960
'08 is perfectly fine for 2008.

....LOL.....touche' I think my apostrophe is correct in that.....*wink*....
To: FLOutdoorsman
If thats all to complain about Hunter, then so be it!!! Oh, grow up.
"Thats" = "That's"
I'm pointing out something that could be a national embarrassment for the campaign.
Nobody with adequate press staff would have let THE MAJOR LOGO slide!!!

Either way, Duncan Hunter is a breath of fresh air!
This guy is what I was looking for when I voted for Bush.

heh ha, I never said I was. That would be another drink. Every typo, take a drink. It works.

I think it was done that way because it is more pleasing to the eye as far as balance in the graphic.
