The Meticulous Political Dance of a Manic Media

 

 

We are rounding the bend toward the last act in this season's power play of a Presidential campaign.

Just when you think the two teams couldn't possibly sink any lower in their rabid attempts to kill off the other, another day of media sound bite analysis dawns.

Civil rights, for example.
