Twenty-four little hours.......

As I sat watching the Redskins getting their heads handed to them by the Carolina Panthers yesterday -- thus - applying the 'Redskins Rule' and calling Tuesday's election ahead of time..... Romney wins! .... I got to thinking....

Down here in Texas, neither presidential candidate showed up for huge rallies... granted, they both visited Texas for fund raisers in posh houses  over the last two years, but I wasn't invited. But no visits to local TV stations, no retail selling...  Texas, big as it is, is ignored by both candidates 'cause it's still a safe Red state - at least for a while. The Blue centers of Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio will soon catch up, but not yet. 

Thus, we enjoyed a relatively sane political season  this year. The Senate race for Kay Hutchinson's seat is a foregone conclusion, the various Congressional Districts have been so Gerrymandered the last few years that there is no excitement in them.  

Even so - I am tired of this election cycle that seems to have been going on for the last four years --- the GOP in their primary campaign, and heck, Obamanation has been running for four years -- he never has taken time out to be President of All The People of the United States.   

If I'm tired of it, you folks in those battle-ground, contested states must be plumb worn out..... Bless your hearts.  Be of good cheer! Hopefully it will all be over about Eleven PM tomorrow night. 

....and the 2016 race doesn't start until Wednesday morning ........
