I was following the election obsessively until about a week and a half ago, just about the time they started running out of real news. Do I care if the Republicans want to spend their budget on wardrobe? (no) Do I care which comedians endorse which candidate? (no) Do I need a news report to tell me that tensions are rising and campaign ads are getting nastier? (nope) The only news of interest in the past 10 days was when Mike Drudge started hedging by posting semi-neutral Obama updates. Hil-arious.
To sum up, I’m ready for Nov. 5 already.
See related rant at one of my favorite blogs, Fomenting a Rebellion.
Ok, confession, so I’m still watching the election very closely. I check news sites and Fivethirtyeight.com at least twice a day. It’s just not FUN anymore.
