I hear way more about Obama than I do about McCain from conservative media outlets, at the same time McCain is becoming less of a personality and more of a generic president. Sure they mention McCain each time they mention Obama but the subject is always OBAMAOBAMAOBAMAOBAMAOBAMA and I don't think the democrats look at this and think "oh he's getting a bad rep", they must be thinking "haha look at all the attention he's getting".
The republicans will need to change their media strategy so this doesn't turn into a crying libfag shitfest.

What's more absurd is that you hear way more about these two from the media than the actual president who is running the country right now. The candidate selection process in America is a long drawn out farce, and the coverage it gets shows how people are interested only in personality politics.
In Britain opposition leaders (potential future Prime Ministers) are whisked in and out in a low-key process that lasts a few months at most, or much less if a candidate is running unopposed.

This has a simple solution. Shrink the size and scope of the federal government to its constitutional size and restore the powers of the state and local governments.

But people are stupid, you don't want the majority of people caring about issues that are relevant to them. 2 party centralised system works because only the people intelligent enough to see through the bullshit (or who really care about the issue) will influence policy.

Are you sure about that? Think about the havoc the greenfags are wreaking on policy today. In a more Constitutional system, it doesn't matter if stupid people care about issues that are relevant to them because chances are it will only be relevant to them, and you can deal with the much lower number of stupid people that care about the issues that happen to be relevant to you.
