New York magazine asks bloggers what they are going to do on November 5th. Here’s Ben Smith:
I think the transition is going to be just as breakneck as the election, and that the real lull, if any, will come in June or July of next year. I’ve been doing this since Politico launched in January of 2007, and it’s so metabolic at this point I’m not sure I can really unplug. Also, I’m very boring.
I’m currently running on fumes and without Patrick’s stamina and help would probably be on a stretcher. But adrenaline exists for a reason. It’s balls-to-the-wall till the fat lady sings, or something like that.
The more I think about it the more this election day feels like one giant collective, global puke. That Bush-Cheney thing never quite settled with us, did it? We’ll feel a lot better but a lot more tired once the last heave is over.
