We no longer have independent candidates representing the views of the electorate; rather, we have two corporate brands fighting for market share – the only tangible difference between the two is the advertising (campaign promises). Obama (Pepsi) promises to be the "choice of a new generation," while McCain (Coca-Cola Classic) declares that he's "the real thing." But while the two products may taste slightly different, they both consist of the same basic ingredients.
The political ads are growing wearisome. The election will soon be over and the hoopla will begin over how things will change. They won't change much and the speculation about Hillary in 2012 will begin again.
