I used to seek it out on every outlet I could find. Primary focuses would be the first thing I'd read when Newsweek showed up at my house. Contrast that to now, when NPR just started talking about it and I turned the radio off. There are only so many ways we can dissect the polling, delegate counts, and talking points. When political junkies like me are starting to tune out then average voters must be feeling a similar burn out on the process. I really hope that this ends soon so we can harness any remaining enthusiasm for these two candidates for the General Election in the fall.

1. I was just thinking the same
thing myself. I am totally burnt out.

2. This whole process needs an ending with one thought in
mind... Vote for a democratic president. Any Democratic president is better than John McCain.

3. It's all Jeremiah Wright today, saturation coverage on every cable news channel.
If it weren't for a couple of forest fires, there would be no other story at all. Hour after hour after hour of Wright, Wright, Wright. I'm sick of hearing about him. I've got the sound turned down.
