Politico:

On the first cover we peeked, the two pols are featured looking downright friendly: Obama and Palin share a milkshake, prompting Archie to declare, “Wow, I guess anything’s possible!” Inside, Obama and Palin get involved with Riverdale High’s student government election, in which Archie is running against Reggie.

law degree and was a major in US Consititution history. 
Yeowie Kazowie!!!! And kapow!
