Ok. Ok. So maybe the Politics of Fog analogy broke down! I admit, the Politics of Distraction would have been more appropriate. But the point remains the same; namely, the candidates AND the Media are continuuing to waste our time and interest on insignificant details for poll points and market share.

The promise 'not to go negative' seems to last only until the poll numbers turn against you. 'He said, she said' ad nauseum! Bob and Weave only a boxer could love. It makes one envious of countries whose campaign season is only a few weeks or months, doesn't it? It is very telling of modern, American politics that 'bipartisanship' and 'working together to find common ground' have become hollow rhetoric.

And then they take office! Lord, help us, then they take office...
