As a former cartoonist for the Pirate's Hook, the Daily Tar Heel, and the Exponent, I LOVED the New Yorker's Obama cover (although, as a supporter, I got the shivers thinking about all the backwoods arch-conservatives that have been trained from an early age to read everything 150% literally). Now, I can say that I'm a fan of Vanity Fair as well. Is this one of the greatest campaign seasons ever? Or am I too young to have been aware of the great moments of other epic battles? Will Obama-McCain shape up to be remembered like Jefferson-Adams? I hope so.
