The biggest problem with the U.S. election is the number of people discussing it for the length of time they do. The election is early Nov. , we shouldn't hear a peep before Sept. 15. How much money is squandered on that charade by a country that is strapped?

Perhaps people just expect too much from politicians and over rate their ability. On the other hand maybe too much ability is not a good thing.

Romney Wins Arizona; Locked in Tight Race in Michigan
Mitt Romney has won the Republican presidential primary in Arizona, based on preliminary exit polling, but is locked in a tight battle with Rick Santorum in Michigan, a crucial electoral battleground where Mr. Romney’s hometown advantage has all but evaporated.
Mr. Romney’s victory in Arizona will earn him 29 delegates, extending the lead he already enjoys over his rivals. The win comes after his rivals largely conceded that Mr. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, would take the border state.
But Michigan has been a much tougher challenge for Mr. Romney, who was raised in the state and whose father served as the state’s governor. Exit polls and early returns showed Mr. Santorum mounting a fierce challenge to Mr. Romney in a state that was not expected to be close just weeks ago.

If one of the present four Republicans won the election, the world will be the loser.
We would face a dark ages never mind an ice age. I personally have never seen
such a collection of misfits. We have two out there talking about social issues that
deal more with the spiritual realm rather than practical down to earth serious issues.
Mit here is a so called mainstream Republican, and if that is true we are going to see
the middle class get more kicks in the butt, and more unemployment than we have
seen with Obama. Actually the unemployment picture is improving, and it has a long
way to go thanks to the Republicans who created the mess in the first place.
Ron Paul is out to lunch but at least he is sincere about his beliefs. We have a group
of pandering self serving folks who don't understand the American people let alone the
situation the country is really in.

Santorum, through his own statements, has neutered himself with the Republicans in Congress: if he were to be elected, he would become a figure head to their agenda.
Romney, I pretty much agree with you. He is the closest thing to a "compassionate conservative" and he's the corporate raider tycoon. I do think he is the most pragmatic of the lot though.
Gingrich, I don't see how this old sleeze bag got this far, never mind how he is still in the mix.
Paul, I will disagree on perhaps the most. He's not a self-serving panderer and he doesn't appear to be the racist scumbag his son is; he just is too much the idealist stuck on a utopian view of how he thinks the founders of the US wanted things. He hasn't compensated in that view for how the world has evolved (and often appears not to understand it). In many ways he is the most admirable of the bunch, but with his limitations, possibly the most dangerous.
