...competition will further blur the marketing lines between the older travel-and-entertainment cards like American Express, which grew up specializing in hotels, airlines, rental cars and restaurants, and the bank cards that originally focused on local retail purchases.

Little more than a week before the election, a local newspaper devoted its Sunday front page to a story asking if perhaps this was the end of the line for Hatch.
