One down, oh so many to go. I've got to say, I watched all the political chat shows today, and I've never been more bored with them. It has deflated my enthusiasm for even posting political items today. Everything was focused on the phony-baloney Iowa "straw poll," and the minutiea of the Presidential horse race. The only bright spot was on Meet the Press, which featured a debate between the DLC's Harold Ford and DailyKos' Markos Molitsas.
The downside of our early Presidential race is politics fatigue. And it isn't even actual politics so much, as the drudgery of campaigning. A side-effect of the nation's displeasure with the current President is this months (years!) long drudgery. Hopefully, some of the also-rans in this contest will get tired of it too, and drop out like Tommy Thompson.
