I assume this is supposed to look like a television studio for a talk show. And what's that in the background? A pretty photograph of a city skyline? OK...

Wait. What city is that? Not Austin. Downtown isn't that close to the water.

Free advice for the Patrick campaign: Wikipedia has freely-available images of cities in Texas too, if y'all want to make any websites for campaigns somewhere other than Chicago.
