I wonder what the effect on the race will ultimately be- its a petty distraction, and will not be gotten by the majority, and has to have been seen as inflammatory by people that approved it- and it will surely sell magazines, and increase the perception that the new yorker is for those that "get it". as to the response of the obamma camp, I have met people in my area that are otherwise rational career pursuing constructive members of society, who are fuzzy on obamma vis a vis his religion or convictions with regard to patriotism-
so I can understand the campaign not being interested in any kind of spotlight being shined on that issue-
