As the 2012 presidential election draws nearer and nearer, the Republican candidates (thanks in a large part to the media) have basically been narrowed down to Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. As these two duke it out at debates and primaries all over the country (as of writing, the next primary is in Florida), President Obama has yet to even start campaigning.
This may have a few effects. First; Americans practically forget that there is already a president and they think that their only choices for office are Romney and Gingrich (we're speaking of the not-so-nicely-educated Americans here..) Or, they may just toss so many insults at each other that by the time the real election rolls around, the general public has become so thoroughly disgusted with both of them that they decide to reelect President Obama.
Personally, I think something in the election system needs to change.
