How Far Will Obama Mania Go?

Pretty darn far, actually. DVDs, YouTube videos, books, magazines, commemorative coins. This guy is going over bigger than the Beatles, and John Lennon had to admit they were bigger than Jesus, so you can just imagine the star power that our president-elect holds right now.

Howard Kurtz, one of the few unwaveringly objective columnists at the Washington Post, has an interesting take on the Obama media machine. He's just about the only columnist so far that I've seen who has attempted to put all the madness in perspective.
