Is it just me?
Or does this election season seem longer than WWII?

Just don't outrun the supply lines or attack Russia in the winter!

2. I wasn't around for WWII, but...
Kinda!

However, other elections seasons were much more BORING than this one. This one is like a duffle bag full of fireworks.

11. Yes, that's when it started for me.
That's when I found that some people at a place called "Air America Radio" were talking about the way I felt. I started learning more about issues and the names of far more political figures and pundits than I had ever dreamed possible. So...it's all your fault, Mark Maron, Al Franken, Thom Hartmann, etc. I hope you're happy now!

5. Can you even imagine how tired Barack must be?
The saving grace for Hillary is she got her life back.

9. You know, anyone who wants to be Prez
Edited on Wed Oct-01-08 06:02 PM by Tallison
has got to be a little insane.

I can't imagine the pressure of carrying a whole nation's expectations. You're essentially public property for the duration of your aspiration and term. Not health.

ETA: Can you imagine being the therapist of a President? God knows, they probably need it, but can't see one for fear of public disapproval. Wouldn't it be weird to be the president's therapist?

10. I feel so sorry for B.O. He won't be able to win for losing
unless he just might be the Messiah.

8. Yes, and it's really stressing me out
I'm preoccupied to a degree that's probably unhealthy and should impose at least one 'news-free' night a week. My mom and sister (both also big Dems) are the same way, so at least I'm in good company.

Will need a 12-step program when it's all over.
