We tracked it down here: http://www.gettyimages.ie/detail/dv1992033/Digital-Vision
A representative from ThinkStock, an image subscription service that’s a part of Getty, says that these stock photos are staged and all of the participants have signed a model release.

What's the site's name? www.thricemarriedandwashedup.org???????? Or www.cannonfodderforObama.com?
Auntie - Thanks, I needed that laugh!
As for using a stock photo......well, I'm shocked. Just shocked, I say. Why, next thing you know, these guys will be using actors from Philadelphia to play West Virginia hillbillies in their tv ads or something.
Oh, wait.....
When I first went to the website I thought is that McCain's wife, Cindy? Why is she on the picture? But lo and behold, it's just young blond, Calista, with her man! I thought maybe he had borrowed Cindy or something....you know, all these younger rich gals look alike. I know that's a blanket statement that I'll get slammed for, but I guess it's easier to look youthful and fresh and undisturbed when you have the money for it. Ah, to be one of the blessed rich!
Should he have dressed up in a tiger costume instead for the background photo?
Eurasian, Mexican, Black, and whites in there, along with the Newt & Callista photo pasted on top....did they go to an Obama rally to get this photo?
I like it! Especially the www.cannonfodderforObama.com one. Nice. Very nice!
Where are all the old white people carrying Tea party signs in his stock photo? The people in his photo surely wouldn't vote Republican. Newt is going to be a great candidate from a comedy standpoint, I just wish Sarah would hurry up and join the fray. Maybe they could be their party's ticket. "NEWT,SARAH"
How 'bout Newter Sarah?
Tom--what makes you think Sarah would play second fiddle to Newt? I sure hope he paid the fee for that photo.
Auntie, you are on a roll this afternoon! I glad I finished my coffee already! Those spray clean ups are murder.
MSNBC, why do most of your posts denigrate Republicans?
Who cares about the background photo on Newt's site ?
Is your implication he did something wrong? Or that only Caucasians are Republicans?
Good question. Why does Fox pander to idiots and the un-educated? (and guys that love that cleavage!)
Becasue they're pinheads?
Golly DBO - don't you listen to Hannity every day?
For the clevage? That's just gross.
Say who has a bigger set: Maddow or Schultz?
I thought maybe you did. If you are indeed married to a 'pushy' lawyer, I understand now why you have to come here to try to whip up on the others, after she gets done beating your sorry butt every day at home.
DBO, I always wondered why his handle was Spanky.
DBO and SG, You guys are killing me! Those last two post were killer!
I'm sorry Bob. How about "The Newt Sarah"
Newt has a stock photo with black people as his background on his web site? There goes the Southern vote! Barbour and Huckabee would never make that mistake.
Well maybe if they were picking cotton or working a tobacco field. That might do the trick!
devie,
I stand corrected. You are so right. Maybe his three wives would make for a better background picture. What do you think?
Hey what was the cell phone photo about? Is ATT a sponser of his web site?
