General thoughts on the general election

So the match up is set and the bumper stickers, signs and balloons are being made. Right now it is hard to decipher what topic will be the one hot topic to rule the summer. Both sides are trying to make their claim concerning the economy. To this point I believe that issue will be a wash; with both sides not making the best case. The fact of the matter is that we were faced with going into a great depression and we did not. While the recovery has been slow, the only food lines that there have been are at the local Golden Corral. The hot topic for a minute was the 'War on Women'. This still might be a good attacking point for the GOP, but there needs to be policies behind the attack. Defeating a sitting president is historically difficult. Most of the candidates who won were able to draw a contrast with their opponents. To this point Romney has not drawn a sharp contrast and it seems he might make a mad dash to the middle. I'm not going to rush to a judgement on how entertaining this election will be, it's a long time till election day. But for the medias sake, I'm sure glad Joe Biden is still on the president's ticket.
