If you have spent the last year on an island without TV, radio, and Internet; if you have therefore missed the primaries for the US presidential election, the parties' conventions, the ads, the debates, the scandals, the gaffes, a governor from Alaska, and Saturday Night Live comedy; if you don't know anything about this historic election, the candidates and their campaigns, then there is only one article you have to read: it is the New Yorker's endorsement of Barack Obama as next president of the United States. Read "The Choice" (and why you don't really have one):
