By interesting I don't mean big winner or the best between the two parties will win.
Because in my opinion there are no best of two parties in this election simply the lesser of two evils.

First
take the Democrats
Well they got Obama, made a lot of speeches in '08 fired up a lot of people with phrases like "CHANGE" and "YES WE CAN".
Obama did manage to catch and kill Bin Laden which is important cause the previous president had 7 years to catch him Obama did it in 3
Obama tried to help Americans with something differant called the stimilus package
Didn't work but it was something differant
Obama started to pull troops out of Iraq, not there yet but started
Obama provided a jobs plan a plan to create more jobs, America is still waiting

However on the flipside.
After 3 years there has been no great change just more speeches from Obama talking about it
Obama's Health care or as I like to call it " insurance ad" was a disaster.
The budget cuts that came from the White House.
The neglet of not only the elderly but the new College grads
Debt as gone up
Not very good for a president's campaign

Then you have the Republican/Libertarian/Tea Party or just Republican.

First the candidates

They got Perry now this is a guy that gets on National T.V. and says I have 3 ways to fix America's economy but forgets the 3rd one, on topof that he's from Texas,as was Bush 1,and Bush 2

They got Trump now this is a man running for president "the leader of America" yet when first ask his response was I'll let you know after my T.V. series is over??

They got Cain his campaign speech will be "I NEVER HAD SEX WITH THAT WOMAN"
Sounds vaguely familiar

They got Gingrich which is sad it's hard to watch a falling star, maybe if America's lucky he'll shut down the goverment again

They got some loud talking Palin wantabe, Bachman or something like that, if she's trying to live up to Palin ...well?

They got Romney so...... well they got Romney

I can not understand the strategy of the Republican / right wing parties.
They sling mud and point fingures an outdated practice, maybe in 2004 but not today, ask any voter if they want bipartisin or partisin politics?

Obama comes out with a job plan to create jobs they critisise it
The unemployment ask for more jobs they critisise them
The middle class ask for less taxes they critisise them
The protestors in the streets ask for change they critisise and humiliate them
College grads are asking for more opportunities in the work place they critisize them.

Lets face facts the right wing ain't making a lot of friends out here.
The right wing best pray for a small turnoput at the polls.

Unless the Republican right wing as an ace up their sleeve this election won't be won by the Democrats they will simply take office due to the right wings suicide campaign:peace
