GOP says more NO; Dems say "More dough"

It may just be the way the media is carrying it or it may be real.  It seems like the presidential race has devolved into a simple fund raising exercise rather than any serious politicking.  The Republicans, having proven that they can prevent any meaningful action by congress is now expecting AND PROMISING 4 more years of gridlock  unless Obama is defeated.  And Democrats are promising they'll go down in defeat unless we give them tons more money.  No one is proposing a serious plan to improve our economy, reduce taxes, or increase benefits.  No one is really running on his accomplishments - because there haven't been many!!  What a bummer year.
