The rule is... Never, never, never get text in an image, unless the text itself is the subject. The reason is that the eye goes straight to the text first.
So, this is sort of an iconic image... one just like you'll see all week long in any newspaper or news magazine. I shot it yesterday with a D3, 70-200 zoom. Auto everything. Apologies that the exif data was stripped out on downsampling process.
I look at this shot, and I sorta like it, but the very last thing I look at is the candidate. Where do your eyes go first -- and last?
Journalists are not allowed, but portrait artists are: what would you do in post to get the subject to pop more? (edit and repost welcome)
