Voters just started paying attention and media spotlight is intensified---past issues matter little Garofoli 9/8 Joe is a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, “Critical time in presidential campaign,” 2012, http://www.sfgate.com/politics/joegarofoli/article/Critical-time-in-presidential-campaign-3850847.php Americans will choose their next president in less than two months and the race is a statistical dead heat as it enters the season that matters most: The one where Americans who are not political geeks start paying attention.¶ The race will turn on how voters feel about the economy.
