Via Pajamas Media, The Anchoress has one of the most refreshing posts I've seen in a long time:

I'm getting some emails from folks wondering why I am not writing about Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Duncan Hunter, etc. Note I'm also not writing about Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

The answer is simple. I'm protesting.

I resent like hell that these politicians - all of them, but I seem to recall it was Hillary who started early, forcing everyone else to do so, as well - began their stumping and fund-raising two years before an election. Some of them - like Clinton - barely finished their re-election celebrations before reaching out their hands for '08 campaign funds.

I like the Anchoress's idea, logo, and manifesto:

Let this be my manifesto credo: Your Endless Campaign Stops Here.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm weary of the lot of them, and need the break.

Frankly, I'm jealous. I feel as if I've been blogging about elections ever since I started blogging, and that was in May of 2003! This country is in a permanent state of elections, and I don't know how to stop it, or my endless blogging about it. I try not to overdo it and I do try to write about other things. But I'm thrilled to see a blogger taking preemptive action like this.

Another reason I'm trying to avoid the election as much as I can is because I think certain candidates want to get the blogosphere out of the way early. Perhaps the goal is to exhaust the blogosphere; perhaps the hope is to dismiss them.

With a permanent election, there's plenty of time. The voters won't start paying attention for at least a year.
