Considering that the ground forces in NH were in part organized by Vijay, who got a great deal of press in NH for being a former google employee, I'd say he is the best bet. I don't know who he is on these forums.
It's not google search, it's google NEWS .. and that has always been hit or miss with the picture generation. Geeze. Do you really think someone has the time or energy to piss off the 5% of the population that vote for Ron Paul by changing the code in Google to intentionally place a picture of Barack Obama next to what are clearly Ron Paul news stories?

wow.... and you wonder why people think we're all conspiracy theorists.
Do a Google Search "David Beckham"
You get Shaun Wright Phillips and another guy.
I mean, this has been this way from the start.. they just pick an image that is related to the story somehow.. sometimes it works for the best.. many times it does not

Then you're a moron.
It happens to many news stories on Google. Get used to it. THey grabbed a photo , likely from a page with "Election 08" on it.
If you google Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee, right now, you get a picture of John McCain.
John Edwards gives you Barack Obama.
It's just how the code works.

lol It just hit me, Obama and a gay website 
Wasnt there a video on youtube with a cab driver who said he did cocaine and gave Obama oral sex and the Obama people ran the story that it was the Ron Paul people behind it? That would explain Obama picture on a gay website on Google news searching for Ron Paul lol

They can't from the news, no, because the images are coming in fresh. They go with topics.
That's why for their "image search" catalog, they have the Image game at http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/ , so people can label the images.
But that doesn't work for the news pictures which get pulled off of various news sites by topic.

No.. the pictures are pulled from "Politics" or "election 08" themed categories on the news sites. Then, Google basically just slaps an image next to the search.
Here's how it works, using David Beckham as an example.
David Beckham -> "Get text for David Beckham news stories" -> "Got it.. now headlines and format" -> "Okay, now , Beckham plays Soccer, we got this from the Soccer Section of the Sports page" -> Displays soccer image.
Sometimes that's Becks, sometimes that's Shaun Wright Phillips
The same thing is going on with Ron Paul, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee right now.

lol but how do you explain that out of the millions of sites on the net Obama's picture pops up from Gay Wire hahahahaha
Dunno.
The news search gets images from around the world.
I did a google news search on some of my family, and I got a picture from a news story written about my family from Australia. Of Daffodils.
Just weird stuff.

i did a search about gay obama hers what i got http://www.google.com/search?q=yout...ent-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS253US253&aq=t
Back on topic i wont put much into these results, if you read the article in Gay Wired with Obama's picture they mention Ron Paul as one of the Republican candidates so this might be part of why you get these results in. Try Ron Paul tomorrow and all this will change.

Hmmmm
Well the main reason I was concerned about this is due to the famous slogan: "Google Ron Paul". If people actually do this, the results are less than favorable...
