A development with a rather big wow factor

The cover story in the latest issue of Newsweek is called "Hit The Road, Barack: Why America Needs A New President."  It's cool, clearly, that the magazine is giving top visibility to the argument a blog such as this would make for bringing the MEC's grim reign to an end.  That argument is well-articulated by Niall Ferguson.  A couple of thoughts: It gives the editorial staff cover as an even'handed periodical for the rest of the campaign season, but it also confirms that it is now an opinion magazine, and therefore due for a name change.
