By now you should know the Kamala coconut story which has become a meme. If you don’t here’s a USA Today article which explains it.
The New York Magazine cover is one of the best promotions for a candidate I’ve seen in a long time. It is the complete opposite of one of the best covers attacking Donald Trump. They depict him as a clown. They graced the front pages of The New York Daily News. This was particularly gratifying because they were displayed all over New York City at newstands and kiosks.

Trump was a challenging subject to put on the cover of magazines since the competition was hot and heavy for one that would stand above the others. Here a a few more that made the cut:

The New York Magazine cover shows an exhuberant Kamala Harris looking youthful and exuding confidence while sitting on a giant coconut. In the foreground they have Chuck Schumer, Barak Obama, George Clooney, a sad looking President Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and a leaping Hakeem Jeffries. I wasn’t able to identify the woman on the left.
I wasn’t able to identify the woman on the left. She could be one of these Kamala supporting singers (read article).

For those who remember the days of JFK’s Camelot the name Kamalot will be evocative.
Even those who aren’t old enough to remember how Jackie Kennedy remembered his years as president as Camelot (read article) ley alone know that Camelot is a legendary castle and court associated with King Arthur or that it was a hit 1961 Broadway musical. Just the name sounds really, really good. One could be literal and read it as Kam-a-lot mean a lot of Kamala but that is rather boring.
I’d like to envision Kamala as a modern day noble and virtuous Queen Guenevere with lots of liberties taken with the actual story told in the musical. She did help King Arthur put together the Knights of the Round Table made up of knights who do not pillage and fight but instead uphold honor and justice.
We can leave out the part about her and Lancelot….
