(7,895 posts)I suspect the hype is more about getting cover for the rip-off of the Senate and House elections. As others have noted elsewhere there are a number of states where redistricting by the Rethugs has created the chance to dominate both houses of Congress. The point about Romney running is to give enough cover to the money that will finance it all. Winning the Congress will give the Money and the Ideologues the ability to impeach as well as rewrite law and process. I fully expect that this will be the ugliest of campaigns. The rhetoric we have heard this year alone suggests that.
I agree on the point that anything which looks less than a horse race is bad for TV. I expect all sorts of false equivalence from MSM presenting the "issues" in order to help generate that impression.
