I thought I was burned out on politics, but I have my second wind

Same here, except in the opposite direction!

You're done, huh?

One more week of the Republicans and then the downhill slope to November. Take a deep breath, it will be over soon.

Pretty much. I was going to vote for McCain holding my nose, but now, after that speech, I'm actually going to donate to his campaign.

I'm sure he'll get quite a treasury boost after that speech!

A new JFK might be a bit optimistic. He did do a pretty good job with the speech, though. I do think it did what he needed it to do, politically. And you weren't the only one wondering if Aaron Sorkin had a hand in it, apparently. J said MSNBC brought that up, as well. I am still ready for it all to be over and the vote to be tomorrow. Especially now that McCain's VP has been announced. I'm tired of it already.

I did a search and you are right, Brian Williams and quite a few others also commented on it.

With Gustav limiting the RNC it should severely reduce the amount of politics in the next few weeks. And God forbid, if it hits hard no one will talk about anything else.

Well, Gustav wasn't too bad, but now we get to experience a joyous conversation on teen pregnancy, teen marriage, and working women. Where is that optional coma I ordered?
