Question of the Day: 2012 Presidential Campaign

We ask Norwood Patch readers a different question every weekday at noon. Questions could range from local decisions made by officials, to state issues, to national politics and entertainment. Whatever it is, we want to know what NORWOOD thinks! To answer, use our comments section below.

Recent headlines have been full of political announcements and concessions, analysis of particular candidates and even scathing editorials on particular issues. Much like the way department stores seem to put out the Christmas decorations the day after school starts, presidential campaigns seem to begin earlier and earlier.

So today's question, people of Norwood, is does it really help the candidates to begin campaigning so early?

Are you following the current news on the 2012 presidential election? If yes, do you have any thoughts on the race thus far?
