I think Cooper Black works well for the Dem's - they have a donkey for an icon for cry'n'out loud! They're not exactly looking for a slick image. The GOP however is much more controlling of their public glossy visual identity - they're the Apple of the political world.

The typeface doesn't matter. All that matters is that you use Red, White, Blue and a handful of stars sprinkled around it.

And all UPPERCASE!

Its fine whats important is the content of the article. No one cares about the look of that headline.
