They'll get over it. All too soon, political junkies will be focusing on the 2006 senate and house races. Then the next presidential cycle starts to gradually ramp up. Our beloved Dubya will begin the transition from a current president to an historical figure toward the end of 2007, just as the next crop of presidential wannabes start traipsing around New Hampshire and Iowa.
And so it goes.
As for me, I don't think I'll ever care about another president this much again.
