Notes:

Artist Jason Baalman poses in front of portraits of President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney made entirely of more than 2,000 individual Cheetos snacks Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012, in Baalman's Colorado Springs, Colo., studio. Today, the Cheetos brand unveiled a new electoral polling model with the unveiling of 3 feet by 4 feet one-of-a-kind Cheetos portraits of the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees – President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney. Debuting on Facebook today at 11 a.m. CT, fans are encouraged to vote for their candidate’s portrait – made entirely of more than 2,000 individual Cheetos cheese snacks – for a chance to win the actual portrait.
