I love almost anything New York magazine writes, so when they round up all of their election coverage, make it easy to find, and give it funny headings like: "Hairstyle and Its Evolution" and "Best Debate Smackdown," I'm set for hours of reading.

In the Nevada caucuses she bested Barack 2-to-1 among that demographic, and polls heading into last Tuesday's primary in California showed her with 59 percent approval to Barack's 19 percent. New York magazine has a theory on this phenomenon, which they're calling the "Evita Factor."
