My perspective tells me that the problem is not actually with the candidates. Generally, conservatives care who they elect to represent them. Character counts. What the candidates say matters. Progressives don't really have these types of restrictions when it comes to their candidates. What they say is less important than what they can do for me. How does the candidate make me feel. Will they pay their constituents back for their contributions and votes?

Before any election begins, the default media position is conservatives are ignorant and backwards. Progressives are brilliant and caring.

I predict this coming Presidential election will be one of the most blatant "Cult of Personality" battles that I have ever witnessed, and I mean on both sides of the aisle. What does it say about our nation when two years out and the most likely tickets will be Bush v Clinton? What year are we living in?

Be safe.
