It's not time for anyone to care, yet. It's just now the very end of June. Once we get past the Olympics and into August, as the veep pick and the Conventions roll around, we'll see more interest. The American Political System is not broken, it's just heavily flawed. Why? There are human beings running it.
Personally, I am very interested in this election, because it is the first real referendum on the Obama Administration. It will be interesting just how Americans approve of his job performance come 6 November. Ultimately, that's what this, and every, incumbent election is about - how well the president is doing what he was hired to do and if the other guy can do a better job.
No one can compare this to 2008, 2000, or 1988 because there wasn't an incumbent president running, there was just an incumbent party. 1992, 1996, 2004, and 2012 all have incumbent presidents, so naturally the question is "do you approve of how the guy you hired is doing his job or would the other guy be better?"
