Does anyone else really hate this election?

My view: This is the bad sequel to the good movie we all saw four years ago. Due to the cliffhanger ending of Obama being in office, I sat on the edge of my seat for something like three years waiting for this one to come out, only to find a bad cast of protagonists slowly eliminated for a variety of reasons, and when our deeply flawed "hero" goes to fight last movie's victory, it will be a badly shot fight sequence fought by two actors that are poor at doing fight sequences. Hopefully the introduction of a new sidekick (Romney's VP) will liven things up, but I doubt it.

I'd say there were elections with even less inspiring candidates: 1968, 1988 and 2000 are all great examples.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. You can't call 1968 uninspiring. Two of the greatest candidates ever nominated by the Republicans and American Independents, respectively, were seen in this election. On one hand, you have Nixon's triumphant return to the arena, ready to take back what was rightfully his to begin with. On the other hand, you have George Wallace, one of the greatest defenders of liberty from that time period.

Obama and Romney:  This is what we get when the cultural elite, the self-assured "Masters of the Universe", are equal parts arrogant and ignorant.

I wish for the day when Americans will be little impressed by an Ivy League resume or law school-trained oratory, but most of the commenters here leave me little hope that will change before it's "too late".

Getting kind of personal aren't we?

Do you have an anti-intellectual streak?  Just asking. I am darn proud of my degree my from the University of Chicago. I consider it the one of my great accomplishments in life. It was not easy. In fact, it was the most difficult thing I have ever done intellectually. The first year was hell - just hell. Granted, it is not "Ivy League," but whatever.

Hating on success never got anyone anywhere. For the most part, in America, anyway. Hating on someone for being able to get a degree from one of those institutions in no way somehow gives your side "merit". So I agree with you Torie.
