BARACK OBAMA COVERS JUNE'S ESQUIRE: Article takes a 'cynical' look at senator's message of hope.

(May 8, 2008)

*Esquire magazine features a very long cover essay on Sen. Barack Obama in its new June issue, which arrives on newsstands May 13.

Timing couldn't have been better for the cover, which features the Democratic presidential candidate over the full-page headline "Ready, Set, Obama.'

On Tuesday, the Illinois senator won the North Carolina primary by 14 percentage points over his opponent Hillary Clinton and came within 2 percentage points of tying the New York Senator in Indiana. Despite a near mathematical impossibility that she will not have enough delegates to become her party's nominee, Clinton has vowed to continue her financially-strapped campaign.

The Esquire article, titled "The Cynic and Senator Obama,' is a lengthy exploration of his message of hope and change in pursuit of the Democratic nomination. "The cynic will need to be convinced,' warns the lead-in to the impressionistic article by Charles P. Pierce.
