Politics seems to have always been spinning its own reality, but this cycle sure seems to be pushing the envelop.....
Seems like both parties are imploding from internal pressure.
The fuse is people really are tired, even if it appears emphatic, real results, and consequences, are forcing the whole arena to move into uncharted territory.
I would hazard to guess the "not satisfied with any candidate" membership has now exceeded those kool-aid party faithfuls, and no political machine knows how to gather them, or squash them.
It really looks like an outsider is preferred over the entrenched.
The media is all over the place with coverage, and can't seem to hedge its bet with a winner....
I saw Hillary get some tough questions by what in normal cycles would have been just another opportunity to campaign under the guise of journalism....
In the end, I think it is a very healthy trend, lets hope it brings about some real vetting and change to a system that sorely needs it.
Face it folks, we quickly are losing our world dominance, not a bad thing in itself, as that means a lot of other nations are experiencing healthy growth upward and joining in global relationship, people are the direct recipients with better healthcare, living standards, etc.
I think Obama is out in front of this, however, his method and communication is lacking, but again, we have never been in this position, as a nation before.
I don't believe for a second he is selling us out, critical reasoning would establish he would only loose everything he gained, in his rise to power, leaving those very causes ( gay rights, GW, women's rights, etc) in jeopardy, as these global alliances still operate from their tightly held beliefs and may never be discarded, for capital gains and commerce, or what we might call, civilized social advancements, at a cost
