This photo was taken on a day off from covering the presidential candidates in Ohio.
Pig races are similar to presidential races.
Crowds gather and cheer for candidates. They do the same for pigs.
Candidates make speeches. Pigs squeal. Either way, they both get attention.
Pigs writhe in mud. Candidates sling mud.
Some candidates drop out of races. At this piggy race, one of the competitors stopped running before making a turn on the track.
Candidates make speeches inside a enclosed buffer, guarded by metal barriers and Secret Service agents. Pigs race behind metallic fences.
Some political campaigns, like pigs, play dirty.
Candidates thrive on attention and getting their pictures taken. They're a bunch of hams. Pigs are hams too.
Candidates promise to 'bring home the bacon.' Pigs are the bacon.
Forget the Republican Party. Never mind the Democrats. Hooray for the Swine Party!
