The picture on your March 10 cover with a halo of light around Obama's head looks like something out of a campaign flyer. Then there's the contrived photo of the Senator's well-worn soles, with a copy of his book in view, that looks like a modern-day version of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

...other hand, Republican nominee John McCain’s “Service to America” biography tour—effectively an attempt to kill time until the fall—has been downright tedious. His well-worn personality parade pales in comparison to the current mood of cliffhanger ambiguity that still hangs over the Democratic nomination. Suddenly, what has often been an automatic nomination process has been ignited with uncertainty and thus interest. The theatrical element to Obama and Clinton’s tussle has generated public enthusiasm at a fever pitch, generating far more media coverage...
