My official endorsement.  ObamaObamaObama.  I’m so ready to vote and so ready for this election to be over.  But I have to admit that I’m going to miss it.  There’s something addictive in the competitive nature of political campaigns.   It’s like a reality television show that never ends.  I hate reality television but I can’t help but love the endless stream of news about these two characters.  Nor can I fight my love for all the commentators.   Keith Olberman,  Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Tom Brokaw and my two News Crushes, Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow.  I want to hang out with Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow.  And sure, invite Pat Buchanan.  Rachel Maddow is my new role model.  I don’t even know what that means because I’ve never even had a role model because I never wanted to be Reese Witherspoon or Hillary Clinton.

What are we going to do now?  What will the lovely commentators talk about now?  Will they start scrutinizing our new president (Obama!)? Of course. Of course. But all the passion?  Where will it go?

Let’s hope it translates into passion for these issues we’ve all been up in arms about.  If we put all our fire into fixing what’s broken…we’ll eventually have less to fix.
