Two powerful candidates, but wish national press would stop coverage until October 1.
its a joke obama is the big joke
it means "do it yourself" research and no longer depending on the media to slant views. It means getting involved, actually researching candidates instead of letting others make up our minds for us. It means I no long trust news stories on politics.
Politics should be principle and commitment.
