Personally, I would say that this particular election
looks less influenced by personal politics than any I can think of. Instead of focusing
on the personal qualities of the candidates, this election actually seems to be about a
limited set of ideas.
In this election, people seem to be
running based on whether or not they agree with the "tea party" set of ideas. You are
either for "big government" and Obama or against it. Who you are as a person is much
less important.
I think that personal politics may decline
even after this election because of the new rules that allow unlimited spending on ads
as long as they are not coordinated with a given campaign. These ads will focus mainly
on policy and not on trying to promote a particular persona for a
candidate.
