Dashed Hopes (or, Nonsense in Nashville)

Here is Richard Harwood, the day of the second debate of the campaign, commenting on the way the U.S. presidential race has gone:

But sadly, the dynamic that is most shaping this race is not the economic crisis, but the increasing intensity of lies, hypocrisy, and deception that rule the day. When this campaign started, many people, including myself, thought it was a golden opportunity for a real debate between competing visions for the nation’s future. Remember that?
