I'll be happy when it's all over with. Then it will be interesting to see the posts then. LOL. Good or bad, I hope they are different!

I'll be glad to see the mud slinging coming to an end from both sides. I guess no matter who is elected though the other side will continue to sling mud for the next four years. It's an endless cycle of schoolyard childishness from supposed grownups.

It seems like they have been going on and on for years at this point.
Won't it be nice to wake up the day after and have silence.
I don't know what the media will talk about but as long as it is not politics I will be happy.
I for one wold like to hear more about the Patriots heading toward the Superbowl or even about a poor kitten that was rescued from a well. NO more Politics please!
Yes, well, one can only hope. I already sent in my ballot. Hopefully I won't be getting any more phone calls

Me as well. I'm absolutely sick of political ads. I live in the DC Metropolitan Area TV and radio markets, which includes Northern Virginia. I've heard and seen so much stuff about how Romney/Obama will be awesome/horrible for Virginia, and plenty of stuff about the Senatorial election for VA as well. I'm a freakin' Marylander, I don't care!!!!

I will be so happy. I don't want to see or hear another vapid political ad for a long time.

Regardless of who wins, imo, I expect we'll be back to the same-old. I do not expect much to happen that's different than right now...the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, and the planet getting sicker. I'm an optimist at heart, but not in these areas. I doubt either candidate will make things better. They will most likely make things generally worse.

I'm not tired of it but I set my attention span to 'Take it slow' several weeks ago. Suddenly it's only six more days. And here in Texas - at least on my satellite - I don't get a lot of political ads. So I come here to get the UTube links.

I am kind of tired of the gold and silver ads.

I can remember an occasion where the Federal Government controlled an election:

Bush v. Gore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just sayin'

It was a shocker that the SCOTUS stepped in.

I voted for Paul in the primary so I had to dirty myself and register as a {R}, I can change back to LP in the general. But since I am a registered {R} the last couple of days I am getting phone calls from Mittens. One in the am and one in the pm. I can not stand Mittens or most {R}s and been thinking about calling the police and filing a complaint on Mittens for telephone harassment.

It would be nice. But, it will not happen on Nov 7, unfortunately. As soon as someone is announced as president, the lawyers will come out. This will get even uglier than it ever has been. One of these guys is going to have to win by a landslide for there not to be legal issues.
