Slog - Comments on End Times http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/end_times Here I am, heading into my 21st primary night here on Slog, with over 20 Democratic debates behind me, five states visited (including Iowa x 3), and just two small-population states (South Dakota and Montana) and two big-audience speeches (Obama's victory rally in Minneapolis and Clinton's not-quite-concession speech in New York) to go before the end of the primary season. (Stifles cheer.) I'm hardly the busiest person covering this campaign, but I'm still worn out and eager for a genuine climactic moment after what has been six months of false climaxes. Remember when it was going to be over in...

Let's just all stop talking about her. This is Obama's day.

Congrats to Obama, our Democratic Presidential Nominee.

I echo @4 and thank you for all the hard work, the long hours, and the obvious craft and passion you bring to your work. It's completely accurate to say that, without your posts, I would have given up giving a damn about all this a while ago and just let them fight it out.

As it stands, due to your coverage, I feel more informed about an election than I ever have before.

Cheers to you, sir!

Will you be covering that?

Or, at this point does Obama just get crowned president and fuck all the rest of that democracy shit?

p.s. That's not to say I'm criticizing your post, I have appreciated your coverage and am hoping that after you rest up you'll move on to the general election.

I was excited and very undecided at first. But especially for the last month or so, it has just become grueling. Any excitement I once had has long been beaten to death.

And your live-blogs are some of the best in the biz. :)

Looking forward to moving foward.

That said, I'm thrilled this primary stuff is just about wrapped up. Enough already.

What do you have planned for the general?
