It’s only the beginning of see these candidates side by side.
The Economist line is “America at its Best.”
Let’s hope that’s the case.

John McCain Covers
ECONOMIST SAYS…
Inflation’s back.
And the mag wins “Debbie Downer Cover” of the day.
THE ECONOMIST SAYS “IT’S ALL ABOUT THE COVER IMAGE”
“The only perspective I have on the cover is it has got to work on the newsstand,” says Penny Garrett, c0-head of graphics at The Economist in the March issue of Folio. ” We do them as mini posters to stand out in the crowd, but occasionally we do go for quite a complicated one.”
Inspiration: The Economist and The Week
The Economist from Feb. 29, 2008
The WEEK from August 18, 2007
Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! I guess that’s what the Week thought when they saw the above cover of the Economist???
Thanks to Scott Rosenblum who made the above submission!
Does the Media Favor Barack Obama?
This cover of The Economist asks an important question: ”But could he deliver?”
And is he ready to become President of the Free World?
It’s becoming pretty clear to me that the covers of major national magazines and the national television networks are NOT putting Barack under the same type of scrutiny that Hillary Clinton or John McCain are receiving.
Why is this?
I have a simple theory.
Living in a Celebrity Culture!
In 2008, we fully live in a celebrity driven culture. We all know that Oprah and other major celebrities support Barack. That could be what catapults him into the White House.
Why? Many Americans follow what celebrities do — and yes — sometimes without thinking on their own. I know, that is shocking!
There is a good chance that tomorrow will decide who will be the Democratic candidate for President. I hope that those who are voting really think for themselves what is most important when casting their vote - not what Oprah thinks is most important.
What do you think?
