Wizer's Definitive but Still Cranky Election Observation

With five weeks to go before the most important election in 32 years, we have it boiled down to this:

1. The blue candidate believes at his core that all things are possible through government, but does not believe that the message is a winner.
2. The red candidate believes that many things are possible and best handled through the private sector, but he also does not believe that his message is a winner.

So, the messages are all crafted to hide something, or to craftily change the subject. During an election season, the mainstream press must report every day on what the candidates say. Therefore, the news is always off-topic. Without the core messages being communicated, the election will turn on who has the better golf game. Heaven help us.
