Some day, this campaign will end....

Earlier I was thinking about how contentious things are getting, but then I reminded myself how in just a year there will be a new president, and whoever it is will have just been sworn in! Unless the election was another ballot-counting cliffhanger, in theory that would mean that the election will be completely behind us, and everyone can get started on the business of attacking the president.

In other words, things will get back to normal.

No, then the next pack o'assholes will start angling and positioning themselves for 2012.

We have reached the era of the Perpetual Campaign. There will be no respite. What you see now is the future of politics when you have a 24/7 news cycle.

Pretty, ain't it?

You're right, JLawson. We have reached the point where a "campaign season" no longer exists, only ups and downs in the intensity of the perpetual campaign. This situation does have an upside: incumbents who keep on campaigning throughout their terms will have less time and energy to meddle with us.
