After two years and a quarter billion dollars worth of ads, the pulverizing election has become a steel-cage match pitting rivals against each other – and not Christians versus Muslims, Americans versus Foreigners or Whites versus Blacks.No, John McCain and Barack Obama have made the race’s final weeks an ideological proxy war between two presidential icons who still loom larger than them:
