How cool would it be if your designs were featured on CNN.com/CNN iReport?
A worldwide audience that not only views your work but also gives you immmediate feedback and "hits" on your work posted on the CNN iReport site.
Four years ago the work by the Advanced Typography class was featured on CNN.com and on CNN as a political story. Several students were chosen to be interviewed along with their work as well. It was a great coup to get the work internationally published.
Take a look:

Some examples which should give you an idea of what you can do with the portraits of the Presidential candidates. Think about their platforms, their personality, their leadership, their experience, their inspiration, their persona, their families, etc.
Stage their portrait...making sure the typeface(s) you choose actually exemplify their personality and the context you are creating with them. What is their party affiliation...is it a donkey, an elephant, the planet?
Is it a classic portrait pose?
Is it more of a graphic pose?
The concept is to use the politicians own words found in speeches, on-air interviews, print and then create a portrait of them in any scenario you wish. You can editorialize if you wish but please remember to be respectful and as best as you can to be non-partisan. Your work will speak for itself.
