30 Most Awkward Magazine Covers That Will Leave You Cringing

There Can Only Be One

Political history in America has always been a roller coaster ride. Elections bring out the dramatic and passionate side of Americans that we rarely witness during non-election years. Back in 2008, when Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton were battling each other for the presidential primary, the future of the Democratic party was a burning question. In fact, some magazines took it to the next level by pitting these two candidates against each other with covers that were nothing short of intense.

Take this particular cover, for instance. The headline's peculiar wording almost makes it seem like a bizarre prophecy, while the editing of their faces together gives an eerie feeling as if the photo is staring into the depths of your soul. It's fair to say that American politics never miss an opportunity to captivate our imagination.
