[an amused spectator]

Because outside a relatively small group of partisans nobody really gives a damn.

"A relatively small group of partisans" in the media gave us Watergate, and nobody really gave a damn. We were only TOLD that "we gave a damn", and we're reminded every few years that "we gave a damn", by the very same "relatively small group of partisans".

The observation you made is quite profound.

The collorary to your comment in this case is as follows: We DON'T really give a damn about the NJ mess. After all, it is just an attempt to put a party's nominee on the ballot. The REAL story is the Republican effort to block a free and fair election. /presstitute spin
