Presidential Politics: What’s at Stake

Unlike the 2008 presidential election, the history-making novelty of a black candidate earning the nomination of one of the two major parties is not a major factor of this year’s race. This election is not about getting—or in this case, keeping—a black man in the White House. In fact, this election goes beyond the cult of personality or the likability (or lack thereof) of either candidate. The 2012 presidential race represents more than a choice between two men. It’s a choice of two very different directions for the future of our nation. Our choice in November is not between personalities, but between performance and potential—between what President Obama has done and what Mitt Romney wants to do as our nation’s next president.
