At the end of the article.....
The choice is clear. The Romney-Ryan ticket represents a constricted and backward-looking vision of America: the privatization of the public good. In contrast, the sort of public investment championed by Obama—and exemplified by both the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the Affordable Care Act—takes to heart the old civil-rights motto “Lifting as we climb.” That effort cannot, by itself, reverse the rise of inequality that has been under way for at least three decades. But we’ve already seen the future that Romney represents, and it doesn’t work.
The reëlection of Barack Obama is a matter of great urgency. Not only are we in broad agreement with his policy directions; we also see in him what is absent in Mitt Romney—a first-rate political temperament and a deep sense of fairness and integrity. A two-term Obama Administration will leave an enduringly positive imprint on political life. It will bolster the ideal of good governance and a social vision that tempers individualism with a concern for community. Every Presidential election involves a contest over the idea of America. Obama’s America—one that progresses, however falteringly, toward social justice, tolerance, and equality—represents the future that this country deserves. ♦

Great urgency in reelecting Obama? Again we have the most importantest election eveh!
Privatization of the public good. What a turn of phrase. Couple that with social justice (whatever the hell that means), tolerance (that's a fucking hoot right there) and equality (doesn't exist anywhere in nature) and whet do we get?
the future that this country deserves.
Hello Amerika!

rant on Chumly
But wait Lucy... It proves something important. It proves that the New Yorker gives equal time to the extreme right. NY will be DEEP BLUE in two weeks when the map becomes official.
And our friend Stern Skipper told me that he is going to be up in NH volunteering for the next two weeks painting in the blue on the granite state. Go get em Stern!
All these bloggers and journalists can point to whatever they want. The states to watch are Ohio, NH, and Wisconsin.
