Yes, it's all making me tense and anxious. But political science is my field and I have little patience for people who complain that it's all so icky. Politics is going to be a down and dirty game because there's so much at stake. There have been a lot of deaths to give us the government we have, as imperfect as it is, and to fight for the civil liberties we have--and especially to fight and die for the right we have to informed voting.
