Campaigns, when does the main event start?

I wonder when the Romney and Obama campaigns will get to the actual main event, and stop with all these under cards. Because all these ads that I see look like under cards on a fight card, and all I want is the main event, the way of the future. That's right, not past performances with successful or failed businesses,  not the unemployment rate, not even visions of the future to me is the real main event. Since it's just now June, maybe I just have to put up with all these important yet smaller themes. No, the real main event is, simply, how do we get to the future? Which is the way to that future that everyone wants? Is the GOP way, which is to cut taxes on everyone, while cutting spending and opportunities for the poor, the indigent, women, education, infrastructure, older Americans, and immigrants while spending on the military goes up? Or is it the Democrats way, which would be to raise taxes on the wealthy, which are at historic low rates, ensure opportunities for the indigent, women, older Americans, and immigrants, ensure spending for education and infrastructure continue to allow people the opportunities to better themselves, and to keep the military spending at a level that will keep the country strong but not choke off the funding for domestic programs. Now I know which way I would vote in that debate, but I think both sides have a viewpoint, and people have the right to decide which way to the vision of a better America they would prefer. The real question is, will we ever see that main event, or will both campaigns keep showing the American people under cards that really don't matter to most people.
