Oh, and tonight NBC is showing 2 hours to make up for not watching tonight. I realize having equal coverage isn't what you democrats expect but deal with it.
I actually could care less. I haven't turned either one on. It's all moot point and a waste of money. People complain about the economy and the deficit, and this useless POTUS election has spent over what, 4 BILLION in political campaigns for both candidates? What do we get for that money. NOTHING. The Presidential election is essentially inconsequential. If the Republicans don't win back the Senate, or the Democrats don't win back the House (which won't even happen this election), it won't matter which one of them is in office. Obama passed the majority of his legislation his first two years when the Democrats controlled both the House and Senate. When the Republicans won back the House in 2010, he hasn't had squat passed. The Republicans main goal in life the last two years was to make Obama a "one term President". They may actually succeed, but again if the Democrats maintain the Senate, Romney will be a lame duck President for at least his first two years. Reid and the Senate won't let one piece of legislation pass through the Senate no matter what it is. Romney promises to repeal Obamacare, and he doesn't have a snowballs chance in Hell accomplishing that feat. Gay marriages will still be relegated to the States, as well as abortion, because it would take a Constitutional Amendment to get either of those inked into federal law. So let them keep spinning their wheels until November. I don't even have a dog in that hunt because Texas Electoral Votes will go to Romney just like they've gone to every Republican candidate since Nixon.
