I'll be really surprised the first time either party gets away from the misleading, no detail headline attack tactic. Imagine, instead of a simpleton cartoon, 20 or 30 pages of in-depth, text heavy analysis of the issues with why party A's position, though flawed at some level to some group of citizens, actually has more positives than negatives and should be supported as being in the best interest of the American public as a whole.
But that’s too hard, too confusing, and too time intensive. And, if you got into the details, you might just find that neither party is really looking out for your or my best interests, except coincidentally. It's, which union will deliver the votes, or which corporation/industry association will pony up the cash to develop cute cartoon and TV attack ads in support of its best corporate interests.
Of course, politics has never really been any better in America, and I suppose it works out good enough in the end -- at least it has for over 200 years.
