Theres more to the face then meets the eye. For starters, the human face is the single most important source of biological stimuli. From the time we are born, we look to faces to determine if someone is for or against us, lying or telling the truth, about to attack or falling in love. So with a history-changing election upon us, now is as good a time as ever to peer into the eyes of the people with whom we entrust our futures to see whats behind all the scripted rhetoric. Sen. John McCain gave us that opportunity last Friday, with the first visit by a presidential candidate since JFK nearly 50 years ago. TheTelegraphwas there to get up close and personal with McCains mug.

With victory so close he can almost taste it, Sen. John McCain makes his final pleas to voters as he wraps up his speech at Durango High School on Friday. Through the power of charades, the senator mimicks what he could do with the country as commander in chief. Cindy McCain, a.k.a. The Money, appears to cast a disgusted look as John The Maverick does the same. With a gleam in his eye, presidential hopeful John McCain throws up his hands one last time before hopping back into the motorcade and beelining it for the airport.
