The farmer throws out the swill and the pigs come to feed. How long has the US election been going? Other elections have come and gone. The Australian election lasted about three days (I'm hardly bragging here...)

It doesn't affect me so bad if I'm working on a predominantly Republican board, but to see apathy to what should be a subject of extreme interest on a predominantly leftward board is somewhat upsetting.

I hang in real lefty circles, and the US elections rarely get mentioned, not becasue everyone 'hates america' - but becasue there are more important things going on. It feels good to discuss worldwide happenings. I havevn't been interested in the political forums here for a while now, the interest might come back with the passing of the selections. I'm not really surprised to see an obsession with them.

I've heard something similar, and the excuse was something along the lines of: "Kerry will fix these things, that's why we need to put every effort into getting him elected." Sad.
