Notes:

Artist Jason Baalman puts the finishing touches on a Cheetos portrait of former Gov. Mitt Romney 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.
