The Audacity of...?

Every once in a while I read something so nuanced, so well-crafted that I smile, and my faith in the news media is restored. This time I can't help but share this outrageously well-written piece from last week's New York Times Sunday Magazine entitled "Is (His) Biography (Our) Destiny?"

The parentheses alone are enough to make you wonder what this piece is about.

Well, I won't give it away - actually, no one can give this article away, the true pleasure is in how well-written it is - but here's the high-level: How is Hillary Clinton, with all her baggage, still sitting alone atop the Democratic presidential candidate polls, while Barack Obama struggles to get his message out?

Full disclosure: I am a Canadian citizen, and am not eligible to vote in US elections. I have not given money to either Barack or Hillary's campaigns, nor to the campaign of any other political candidate.

This is just a great piece that reminds me why I am addicted to the Times.
