I wonder if we could convince the candidates from both parties (once they are each set) to take some time to publicly discuss what's best before we inevitably devolve back into debating. What I mean by that is they should take the time to publicly define and acknowledge the common ground before shifting the focus to the differences. Then once someone is elected the President and Congress can start by addressing those issues where we all agree - that would be real political progress.

It has now come down to guilt by association and attacks from surogates that is dragging down the campaign and it's significance. The discussion of issues has been marginalized by peripheral stuff that is not that important. Personally, I hope the Democratic Party can decide upon a candidate sooner than later and we can all re-engage in the discussion of what is best for the future of our country. Best regards.
