Why the hell is this obviously political picture being considered as a POTD?

Because it's a Featured Picture and almost all FPs become POTD unless it's obviously inappropriate for the Main Page (e.g., Image:Michele Merkin 1.jpg) or it won't fit (e.g., Image:Earth-Moon.png). howcheng {chat} 16:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's been removed for this day. The issue wasn't really that it was political, the U.S. presidential primaries (more specifically, the Iowa caucus) is January 3. It would be a Bad Idea to have an active candidate who is running in that caucus to be featured on January 3's Main Page. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 01:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
