When the entire focus is on the quibbling between the two front runners and not on their vision or messages, we all lose. Yes, much of the quibbling is based on substantive differences between the candidates on important issues, but all of the attention seens to be on the process and personalities, not the details.
When Romney mentioned the big three, McCain-Feinhold, McCain-Kennedy and McCain-Lieberman, I wanted to hear the details about exactly WHY those pieces of legislation are bad. But no, this is all about pontification, bluster and who has the best zinger line that will make for good copy.
And while I don’t particularly like Huckabee or Paul as candidates they are there for a reason, and I would very much like to hear what they have to say. Huckabee is especially articulate and I do like his take on some things, even though I would probably never vote for him.
For some reason I kept feeling that I was seeing Cooper as Eric Cartman yelling “cripple fight!”.
