I fucking hate election years.

the problem is 24 hour news. before, there'd be a story "Obama won in iowa, wonder how New Hampshire will go." Now they have to analyze for 12 hours a day to fill time, so Clinton is about dead, and she's crying. "America is not ready to elect a woman!" Meanwhile all these talking heads can't even see the question that carries as much prejudice WRT Obama.
The entire political process is fucked up and sucks. I can't imagine why I frequent a board to dwell on it, other than it does give me fringet face time, I suppose.
