Americans go to the polls on November 6th 2012, to decide whether Barack Obama deserves another term as President. Already American politics has succumbed to election paralysis, with neither party interested in bipartisan solutions. Strikingly, by about three to one, Americans feel their country is on the wrong track. America's sovereign debt has been downgraded. Unemployment remains stubbornly above 9%. Some of this distress was inevitable. Whatever the country's leaders did in Washington, the credit crunch was always going to cause a lot of suffering. All this year the deadlock between the Republicans in Congress and Obama has meant that precious little serious legislation has been passed. On the face of it, neither side has gained from this stand-off. The right is mostly to blame. Ronald Reagan, a divorcee who did little for the pro-life lobby and raised taxes when he had to, would never be nominated today. As the battle for billions of campaign dollars heats up, neither side dares grant the other any modicum of success.
