Our View: Time for candidates to face realities

Labor Day weekend unofficially marks the stretch run of the presidential campaign season.

We’re right between last week’s Republican National Convention and this week’s Democratic National Convention, with just more than two months to go before the Nov. 6 election.

Once all of the campaign balloons are deflated and the cake and watermelon have been eaten, it’s time to get back to business. Flowery rhetoric and spin won’t spark the economy. Neither will charm, wit, humor or adoring spouses.
