Somebody just END it already....

Another week rolls by and with it, the continuing debacle of the Democrats trying to pick a candidate for the presidential election in November. Not only are neither candidate refusing to drop out, by frankly neither candidate is going to win outright either given that they can't reach the required number of votes to be candidate. On top of all this, the daily calls of others urging either Obama or Clinton to drop out means that it's frankly refusing to leave the news headlines. And i for one am sick and tired of it. I go on in the vain hope that one of them will realise that all this continuing fighting amongst themselves is doing more harm than good, and that in order for the Democrats to win the election in November, then providing a unified front is going to be crucial. This time next year, if the democrats have lost, it's almost certain they will blame the fact that they chose the 'wrong' candidate. Chances are that it's because they're stretching it out too long.

Of course, as i'm not American, i can't vote - so naturally, i'm going to be weary of all this long before anyone else. But i'm not the only one. Even die-hard democrat friends of mine are changing the channel, or turning the TV off altogether, whenever the news stories come up. Let's face it, after a few months of campaigning, everything that the candidates are now saying is likely to be something they've said before, and are just repackaging for a new crowd. Frankly, they're pissing off a lot of people now. Voters are apathetic at the best of times but after this onslaught, it wouldn't surprise me if voter turnout is an all time low in November. People are just past caring. The way i see it, the sooner they decide who is running, the sooner they can actually come up with a good focused campaign for November. And preferably one that isn't going to be long, drawn out and tiring.
