Elections are beginning to feel like Christmas. They begin too early and last too long.Ready or not, here comes Clinton .vs. Christie. Currently the campaign posters say Benghazi versus Bridgegate. Soon it will sound like ObamaCare; the good, the bad and the ugly. Two of those three images will benefit conservatives and should not be hard to accentuate unless the good of Obamacare gets pretty darn good. Christie is certainly a fast enough talker to sale the bad and the ugly, but will he get the chance and will it be enough?
Benghazi is a dead story that will play to the ear of the electorate for no other reason than the dead that were involved. Bridgate will become a continued series of "no comments" from Christie until it finally fades a bit. My hunch is that Clinton and Christie will functionally silence their own sides by agreeing not to talk about these matters.
Sadly, that moratorium is at least another year away. In the mean time, we had best prepare for each side of the media war to prematurely litigate the case for their candidates. Both political party's are prone to follow the winds created by today's media, and today's media has spoken.
This race is on. With or without the candidates.
