Regardless of who you'd like to see win, will you be as relieved as I am on Wednesday when this circus has left town?
Sadly, it could get worse. We could have a repeat of 2000 i.e. inconclusive final results, further prolonging the persistent ugliness of the past several weeks. Having to endure another month of this rancor - and the inevitable non stop coverage of it - would be a form of torture. If that happened, I'd pay a handsome price for a pill allowing me to take a long harmless nap. Just wake me when it's over.
People who long for the "... good old days ..." usually annoy me. But when it comes to the state of modern politics and the seemingly insurmountable divisiveness that appears to have replaced civil public discourse about our differences, I reluctantly admit my nostalgia for earlier times.

I too can't wait for it to be over and hope that it really will be over!
ReplyDeleteI second that emotion - and yet...can't tear myself away from the punditry. Notice how the decline of our political system has coincided with the advent of 24-7 news coverage?
