Coverage Burnout?

After the primaries earlier in the year, and all the media coverage they received, many outlets as well as regular people seem to be suffering election burnout. 

Earlier in the year, stories ran non-stop about candidates and every quirk or trait they may have. Now it seems the water has cooled down a bit and people are trying to catch their breath or just ignore it until it's time to vote. 

CNN.com keeps a political ticker page open with blurbs on candidates, but it's nowhere near the intensity of coverage they had earlier in the year. Blogger Alex Hutchinson feels the burnout and offers his remedies for the average voter here. However, regardless of feelings on it now, rest assured feelings will be aroused again in November- it's just those lean months before then we need to get through.

It seems that there used to be coverage everyday on some new controversy having to do with the candidates. Now about once every two weeks some big controversy will come up. Your right Chris the coverage has seemed to slow quite a bit.
