Meanwhile, here's some thoughtful words offered by Bill Keller in The New York Times




There are plenty of legitimate reasons voters should be disenchanted by the candidates and the campaign, but the idea that we'll be voting in the dark is not one of them.
Yes, the candidates have been reluctant to publish some unpleasant details of their policies.  Most presidential candidates in modern times don't, for the understandable reason that details can be cherry-picked for attack ads.
(But) we don't elect agendas, we don't elect platforms, we don't even elect parties to the presidency.  This is not a referendum or a ballot initiative.  We elect the human being we trust to have our best interests in mind.  We choose a direction, a disposition, a set of instincts and convictions and competencies.

Well, at least some of the media world put substance ahead of style!!!!  God Bless the American persona.
