Primary-withdraw syndrome
I know lots of people have been complaining that they are sick of the primaries already, and I am too. But now that they are winding down, and the end does seem to be near, strangely I'm feeling a little nostalgic: The drama, the ups and downs, the combat, the controversy, and just plain not knowing how it would turn out. Remember Iowa? It seems like a year has passed. The political blogs were the first thing I checked in the morning at work, and a big topic of conversation. One thing is for sure: It certainly has been a lot of fun.
I guess now we'll all have a little more free time, at least until the general election gears up (when we'll really need some revitalized energy). A break from all this is probably good for mental health reasons. Some family members split over Obama-Clinton can maybe start talking to each other again. Heck, even Josh took off to reconnect with his family (a key indicator that the race is over, btw). Probably a good idea for all.
Thoughts?

Amazing how addicting it was, isn't it?

Actually, I was very uncomfortable during it all, couldn't wait for it to end... but then I hadn't yet connected here.. I got lost when this site added all it's features, and hadn't come back till recently. If I'd been here, it would have gone better. But I loathe that part of the process.
Now if you can all just reassure me that Obama won't be assassinated during the next 8 years (or ever, preferably), I'd be forever grateful.
