Primary Election Fatigue
I just wrote today about Primary Election Fatigue. Apparently Jack Cafferty and I are on the same page this morning.
Over at his blog he asked about Primary Election Fatigue. Here’s what some folks said:

I know I have primary fatigue if I no longer find Cafferty’s comments on the primaries incisive and amusing… it hasn’t happened yet.Eric writes:

Jack, Thank you for defining it as ‘primary election fatigue’, I thought I had the flu.
We’ve had 14 months of this. Yeah, it’s primary election fatigue. Of course, tonight, I’ll be watching the results like a crack addict on a five-day bender.
I guess we’re all on the same page. I’m ready for today to be OVER so we can just get on with it. As for tonight. I’ll be right there with ya, pullin’ on the election pipe.
You know it’s time to vote when:
There have been so many campaign commercials, the candidates have to use the same film in their attack and response ads.
Even Jack Nicholson is recycling his old movies.
No one thinks of the Texas Two Step as a dance anymore.
You volunteer to call a hundred people in Ohio for the Obama campaign. Half the numbers have either been disconnected, or have new owners.

Heh, I’m on the flip side of it .. it’s just entertainment for me at this point. I don’t know what I’m going to do without my Tuesday night drinking games* once this is over!
* Hillary mentioned her “35 years experience” — drink! A commentator questioned who would get the Hispanic vote, that’s two drinks!!
Jon, there are times I wished I lived in Nashville so I could play this drinking game with you.
I dedicate this post to blogger Sean Braisted, who is in Columbus, Ohio going door to door for his candidate.
Do you know how cold it is there?
Sean…come back, Sean!
Sean has worked like a dog. Bless his heart.
