I’ve been enjoying this campaign in general.
There have been so many machinations. So many characters in the grand play. So many attempts at influencing outcome – some legitimate, some not so much.
There has been extraordinary hypocrisy on display.
There have been attacks on the Right from the Left. There have been attacks on the Left from the Right.
Dirt in Politics is nothing new. The idea of making the ‘other guy’ look unappealing to the Voter is standard electoral strategy. The delivery mechanism has changed over the decades but the intent is the same.
I am, however, bored now. I don’t think we’ve been well-served by our Media. I recall this from 3 years ago as well. It’s that part of the cycle when the Personalities vie for profile and ratings.
Bring on September 20.
