newsweek

i love it.

i am also very, very behind. haha! they are piling up on our coffee table. but in the past week, i have plowed through 3 more issues - thank you very much - and so i'm getting closer and closer to catching up.

how did i get so behind??


well, when obama won the election, they put out the coolest issue ever. back in 2006 they assigned a few journalists to follow around a few of the most promising candidates (clinton, mccain, and obama) through the whole entire campaign, including the primaries. the issue is one huge, long article, chronicling the different events that factored into the outcome of the elections.

it. was. fascinting.

there was no skimming or skipping a paragraph here and a page there, as i sometimes do with newsweek issues. i read every word of every page. i was glued. it's interesting to see what made a successful campaign team, what what actions and personalities hampered the other campaigns. you can probably find a copy at the library. it's worth checking out, whether your a fan of obama or not.
