I can't imagine that's a legit picture. Probably a frame taken from some video footage that makes him look bad?

LOL They're getting SO desperate

That picture definitely looks odd. The right side of his face looks like someone messed with it.

Of course the other candidates are going to downplay his momentum. They want him to lose, so they're trying to paint that narrative.

it makes him look morbid

they did the same thing to McCain to make him look old and frail

It's ridiculous how predictable it is to predict the tone of an article just from seeing the photo choice. Positive articles show a smiling candidate or show off a strong pose. Negative articles show a frowning candidate or a "crazy-face" pic, or the candidate slouching or diminished in some way. Media bias is so blatant and formulaic.

He's done a pose very similar to this in another photo. So it might not be touched... trying to track down that phot now. I remeber it having a black background

The other images in the series look great. The photographer just happened to catch him at the perfect time. I don't think its doctored.

The other images in this series look great, yet this is the one they pick for the article. Like I said, blatant and formulaic.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of that:( That photo is SOOO photoshoped!

Okay .. I hate to admit it, but the Santorum comment about antacids really made me laugh out loud.
We should all send Santorum some Tums with a little letter "Don't open until election day".

No disagreement here. Whoever is working the night shift at CNN.com apparently has beef with Paul. That's media for you.

I like this one much better:
