Here's my response to the original post:
The political climate in America is probably the healthiest it has been in decades. Yes, the reporting and polling does describe a horserace as far as the election is concerned. It's in the media's interest to report it that way.
But I think it reflects the actual situation pretty well at this point. And as I see it, it is a good and healthy thing to have the issues clearly defined and to have people be lining up according to their views. The whole truth comprises both sides' views. That's hard to parse during a contentious time. But nonetheless, it is the case. The processes of government we have in place do a pretty good job to ensure divergent views are being considered and are an active part of the evolving process.
