Obama wins easily and the American people continue to lose. It is tragic that neither of our 2-ring circus parties can prop up a decent candidate.

You have Obama mention any government management of healthcare and Republicans blow it up into death panels and full blown socialism.

You have Santorum and other Republican figures talk about how contraception is a "grievous moral wrong" and wanting to allow any insurance company/business to deny coverage.

The Republicans are lot more involved in the obfuscation of the opposition (including Rhodoman), and their extreme statements show a much higher willingness to go down a slippery slope.

Not that I think they could go too far down that slope before the constitution stopped them, but they would want to.

If he handily wins a second election, it would appear that a solid number of Americans have decided that Obama is a decent candidate.

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain's campaign officials boast he has "consistently voted against taxpayer-funded contraception programs." And Mr. McCain reports that his adviser on sexual-health matters is Sen. Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma, who leads campaigns claiming condoms are unsafe and opposing emergency contraception.

Because raising kids on welfare is so much cheaper than paying for condoms.
