My favorite essays from the campaign

For those who are interested in in-depth essays and have the patience to go through them. The selection is, naturally, biased:

1. Andrew Sullivan's defining piece on Obama, long before other pundits caught up with him.

2. Tim Dickinson tears apart the myth John McCain carefully crafted for himself after Vietnam and that propelled him into national politics.

3. For those interested in the challenges of mass-scale campaigning, here is a good and a bad example.

4. The best-grounded endorsement I have read, from The New Yorker board of editors.

5. This article explains how Sarah Palin was eventually selected as a VP candidate and casts light on the workings of a rotten party.
