I'm tired of this campaign already and I've done my best to avoid listening to any of the reporting on it. I was and am against not only two years of campaigning but even one entire year as we did previously. Much too much time is spent on presidential campaigns in this country. We spend so much time and money and spin and end up with this crap we have now. What a waste. Who cares? I don't!! I really don't.
