Amer­i­ca’s cam­paigns re­flect a po­lit­i­cal sys­tem “fat­ed to nei­ther learn from his­to­ry nor even re­mem­ber it”.

Oba­ma’s lega­cy will be large­ly de­pen­dent on the po­lit­i­cal move­ment he leaves be­hind.

Giv­en the dif­fi­cult po­lit­i­cal en­vi­ron­ment, De­moc­rats this year are forced to be­lieve in the pow­er of cam­paigns.

Rom­ney may pro­vide a use­ful re­minder of how the next pres­i­dent can fail, who­ev­er he is, writes au­thor.

De­bates are the only time Amer­i­cans can eval­u­ate the two can­di­dates side by side; to match them up against each oth­er.

Con­sti­tu­tion pre­vents the US from stop­ping flag burn­ing, as it is a form of po­lit­i­cal ex­pres­sion giv­en le­gal tol­er­ance.

Al­though most say Oba­ma has no chance at a sec­ond term, there are many fac­tors on his side that sug­gest he will win.
