538 Days to Go

At last, something to thank Bush for:

It’s the middle of summer and months before the first vote is cast, yet polls confirm what the political cognoscenti suspect: most Americans are already tuning into the presidential election.

More than two-thirds of respondents in a New York Times/CBS News poll earlier this month said they were paying at least some attention to the 2008 presidential campaign. That is up substantially from this time four years ago, when 4 in 10 Americans were paying attention.

And it’s not just older people paying attention, either:

36 percent of those under age 30 were paying attention to the election at this point four years ago; 65 percent of them are now.

Yeah, but what are they paying attention to? I hope it's more than haircuts and cleavage.

Too many days. We need single digits.

I gotta agree with Will. Every time I think about how long it is I get depressed.

Would it be too much to institute a recall election process on the federal level?

@4 It already exists. It's called impeachment.

And of course we're all paying attention. We can't wait to pick someone to replace this piece of shit.
