Need Minorities at your Campaign Rally photos - just photoshop them in. Tom Corbett shows us how!!!

Smiling black woman next to Corbett on his website was Photoshopped

It's no secret that things haven't always gone smoothly for Gov. Corbett in his effort to woo minority voters in Pennsylvania. Most famously, the one-term GOP governor -- who's in the fight of his life for re-election -- last year told editors of Philadelphia-based Al Dia at a roundtable that he didn't have any Latinos in his cabinet, adding: "If you can find us one, please let us know."

Now, according to a report going viral tonight on social media, Corbett's re-election campaign found an African-American woman to stand next to the governor on his website photos.

Not an actual woman. According to Buzzfeed, the black woman who gazes at Corbett was Photoshopped from a stock picture.

Good photoshop. Like older women she's got some stuff going on around her neck - a heart-shaped neck wattle. You even see it in the Corbett photo. At least they mirrored her face and changed the shirt color

privatization, education budget cuts and fracking waste water. Can't wait to hear him referred to as "Former Gov Corbett".

but is there a statute of limitations on paternity suits?

She should publicly accuse Corbett of fathering her child.

I obviously haven't thought this through, but it would make for an interesting side show.

Thanks for the post, Lynne

I had to show him how it was done before he would believe me. He even argued with me that (in the old days, you could'nt reverse negatives ..geez)
I work with Photoshop when I do Astrophotography.
