As much as it torments me, I really do enjoy following politics. It's kind of like baseball in that there's excitement, heartbreak, assholes, nice guys, money, scandals, natural skill that's fun to watch, talk of controversial drug use, and LOTS of statistics (the only field with numbers that even truly clicked for me).

Agreeal on the Huckabee assessment there... And I totally hear what you're saying about the pain of the 2004 loss. I wasn't sure how I'd feel once this election really got rolling. ambientguise feels the way you do - it's too upsetting. I think for me it's sort of like an extreme sport, heh. There's a lot of potential pain but I do enjoy the adrenaline rush of the process. We'll see if I continue to feel that way if my candidate loses the primary. I reserve my right to join you in an anti-politics depression!
