If Presidential Candidates Were Top Law Firms, Which Ones Would They Be?

That’s the subject of our column in this week’s New York Observer.
Today, of course, is Super Tuesday. And based on early returns, it appears that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is having a sensational evening. Maybe this could have been predicted, based on how many lawyers we spoke with tried to claim that their own firms were the Biglaw version of Barack — and how many lawyers tried to avoid having their firms tagged as Hillary.
You can read the full column, in which we pick the Biglaw embodiments of everyone from Hillary Clinton to Ron Paul, by clicking here.
Update (1:00 AM): First, it seems that the early returns may have been misleading. Barack Obama had a strong evening, but not a “sensational” one (since he lost California, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts).
Second, we have some egg on our face with respect to Mike Huckabee, whom we treat dismissively in the column. We reported and wrote the piece well before Huckabee won a surprisingly high number of states tonight.
