As much as I enjoy following the day-to-day horserace aspect of politics, I want to pull out my hair every time I stop just digesting the information and start thinking about what it means. Because then I realize that the Republican candidates for office, whose views and policies aren't that much different than the current dudes in office, have adopted this strategic tack of running as heroic reformers of their own party, the outsiders coming in to save the day. They're basically saying, "Those guys fucked it up, we believe the same things as those guys, but we won't fuck it up... because we're mavericks."
Unbelievable. These guys should be laughed off the stage. And yet, the race is essentially tied.
