Well, if this New Yorker article is any indication, Barack Obama will in all likelihood win the 2008 Democratic nomination. No other candidate in recent memory has produced such gushing media tributes this early - and no, the 2003 Howard Dean phenomenon doesn't count, since most news clippings were more about Dean supporters (or the Dean web community) than Howard Dean.
My prediction? Barry Hussein Obama will lead the Democratic ticket in 08. Hillary just can't sell the same amount of high-brow magazines.
