Be honest now--has apathy set in yet?
I chose my candidate a long time ago, and having to deal with the people who hate my candidate's guts is like beating my head against the wall.

It simply got less outrageous and frustrating every day, until it finally got boring.

This primary sucks.

1. I disagree. I posted something that should make people look at it with a "fresh set of eyes".

3. A majority of eligible voters never vote for President
Of that group, most never vote at all. Of the people who do vote for president, many vote only in the Presidential race and don't bother making choices in any other race. This has been the situation for decades.

You are many years too late to be asking this question.

7. From were I sit, this primary is fine.
What sucks is DUers who so strongly identify with their chosen candidate that they make the day-in-day-out goings on of the campaigns intensely personal.

8. Apathy? No. Disgust? Yes.
I'll still vote, I always do, but I'm almost positive I'll be using the write-in option.
