But there HAS been more than enough hype about it in the news to allow time to go get a cuppa.
Very few people I know here really care who the next US President will be. At least, not since the financial meltdown.
I wonder if, when China takes over as the leading economy in a few years time, we will have to listen to their politics on the news? :-\

Probably. That's how the world works.

I picked I'm not sure because I don't do TV or radio...Here in Jacksonville, FL I have driven past a couple of places where early voting is occurring and McCain signs outnumber Obama signs, perhaps 6 to 1. I haven't noticed much of a difference in bumper stickers - the count seems to be tied - in my very not scientific analysis.

Some respected analysts would agree with that.
A while. ...... Not much longer than that. :-\

I like how some other nations (Israel comes to mind, but it can't be the only one) have a moratorium on political advertisements for some period of time before the election.
It seems to me that it would tone down some of the rhetoric and last minute desperation (like the Elizabeth Dole thing) and give people time to breathe and reflect before making their decision.
