I feel much the same way, even though I rarely watch television news and frankly wasn't even terribly attached to blogs/print journalism on the race. I merely made sure I kept up on broad trends, perhaps catching an article or two from a major paper each day.
I wonder how journalists themselves manage to remain engaged in their work during long stretches like this one. I wonder if their own boredom feeds back into the perceived necessity to take every small event and blow it up until it balloons into some kind of major news item indicative of some broader trend.
