Wondering how John McCain or Barack Obama would fare as leader of the free world? Their Senate offices may offer some indication. Here's more from the Associated Press via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

(The following hotlinks take you to photo galleries.) "McCain's office oozes comfy clutter and informality: random piles of books, a fortune-cookie message taped to the desk, an abundance of tchotchkes and bric-a-brac. Obama's office feels more like a gallery of modern art: precisely placed objects, sparsely adorned surfaces, clean lines, choreographed displays."

Play armchair psychologist for a minute: What tales do these dueling offices tell about their occupants?
