    I really like the Obama campaign visual. It looks great…however I have one suggestion. Portraying all three “campaign year circles” in the same color is a bit confusing to me. I figured it out in just a couple of seconds, but a slight color change (or other visual separation)for each would make that part of the diagram more quickly understood.
