With the American primaries getting nasty and tight has optimism been replaced with fear?
The Republican race is polarising between two issues a faltering economy (Mitt Romney’s supposed “strength”), the evil of terrorism (John McCain supposed “strength”). Will the darkest fears become the new vision as the election heats up?
The Democratic race has been thrown of course by a double-barrelled attack led by the attack dog with a touch of the mange – Bill Clinton. Obama has been forced to go negative and defensive by the Clinton “swift boat” juggernaut. These attacks have further made the contest divide along ethnic and gender lines, not exactly the audacity of hope.
