Of many generous comments after our first hard copy edition, perhaps most dealt with our cover photo of a hand reaching for action figures of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, in the article about who left leaning NH primary voters would reach for. These action figures are becoming more common, but imagine our shock when the high end publication The Economist featured a cover photo of action figures of Biden, Trump, Sanders and Warren — after we did our cover! Glad to help, Economist. Need anything else just call us.
In truth, we are certain the folks at The Economist did not steal our idea. We are acutely aware it is unlikely that we have come to their attention. This coincidence is too good for us to miss the opportunity to have a little fun with it. We see this as a good omen, and an auspicious start for us. Great minds think alike and all that.
