Politics 2012: Ho Hum

I'm waiting for President Obama and Governor Romney to start acting Presidential, and not like a pair of eighth graders engaged in a name-calling contest.  When they do, I'll start paying attention to their actual messages.  A few notes:

President Obama ran on nothing in 2008, and won, due to the fact that he was not running against John McCain; he was running against the highly unpopular President Bush and the tanking economy.  He's running on nothing in 2012, and since he has nothing constructive to say, he's throwing nothing but  mud in Romney's direction.

And Romney's been so busy dodging Obama's negative accusations that he hasn't gotten his own message out.  The addition of Representative Ryan to the Romney ticket will help Romney get his message out; I think this is good news for the overall Presidential campaign.

The sooner they start talking about issues, the better.
