Clinton, Obama, Obama, Clinton = Bo-ring Bush diversion?


Is anyone else bored by the campaign?

Does anyone else wonder when the press is going to run out of nouns to place before the word “-gate” or “controversy” or “issue” or “situation”?

Does anyone wonder how much more taxpayer money is going to be used to help nominate one person and defeat another?

Does anyone think about how little substance is being elicited from or offered by the two Democratic candidates anymore?

Are we as guilty as they are for it still continuing?

Are we as guilty as their handlers who are making money off of the campaigning and our inability to select sooner rather than later?

Do we really feel badly for the Americans who have yet to vote? Since in so many prior nomination battles they or we never got to vote in a meaningful way before either? Why is that changing now? Is it worth it? What’s the cost?

Are you tired of getting updates from Chris Cillizza and The Fix? Or Tech President?

Can anyone persuade me that following the two Democratic candidates who hope to be the party’s nominee continues to have value and has not reached or gone past the point of diminishing marginal returns? Especially in light of the major crap going on in the world and here at home right now?

Does anyone else think that maybe George Bush has paid the Democratic party insiders to keep this damn thing going just to avert our attention?

And didn’t you for a second just think that, “Ha. Snort. Yeah.”?

But nah, that’s too looney even for me.

Well, maybe.

    JMZ – I was feeling a bit this way last week. This battle has gone on forever, but as you know from one of your older posts, the pro-Clinton supporters and pro-Obama supporters are very polarized and can’t imagine voting for the other candidate should they get the nomination.

    Its been an interesting race if nothing else.

    I don’t know about the diversion, but I do know I’m over it. Was on March 5 when it was clear her new, new, new firewall hadn’t amounted to squat and the supers would decide the race. Been waiting for them to drip drip drip us to the finish line. That’s the painful part; all the rest is just ammo for the RNC.

    My problem is that we aren’t learning anything – not one damn thing of value. In fact, why not shutdown the campaigning and just let people vote? Would save a s**tload of money.

    It’s abusive, just plain abusive. And every voter should be angry about it and want a solution. IMO.

    Oh my yes. The whole exercise is a giant time/money/sanity suck.
