How about a post to start us off? Unfortunately, and I know I'm not the only one of this mind, Personality of the candidates trumps the issues when the positions are not that far from the "Democratic" mainstream. After 2000, electability, even with questionable election day tactics, is paramount. The media is just reflecting the popularity of the "Rock Star" attributes that the disengaged population wants as shown so often when you see the response Bill Clinton gets at any podium. The confusing thing is the press doesn't see any Rock Star in Hillary and has turned to Obama to get a response so early in the race. An oscar will help Gore in this "Rock Star" rating category.
