The Looooong Campaign


There are 524 more days until Election Day. And how is it all going?

Not so good, according to Roger Simon:


For months and months — it only seems like years and years — we have been bringing you information about the people running for president of the United States.

We have written story after story, done interview after interview. We have brought you debates with stages as crowded as basketball courts.

And the candidates have appeared on real news shows, fake news shows and late night comedy shows.

Some candidates are already running commercials to boost their name recognition, and if you live in Iowa or New Hampshire there is a good chance one or more candidates have knocked on your door and asked to use your bathroom.

So how are they doing? Are they getting recognized more today than they were before they started their intensive campaigning and we started giving them constant attention?

Nah.

According to a Gallup Poll conducted this month: “Despite the remarkably early start on this year’s presidential campaign and the high-visibility presence of the major candidates on television news shows and in televised debates, the name identification of the leading candidates or potential candidates has not changed much so far this year.”

Whose bright idea was it to start all this the day after the last election?
