Yep.
However I was beginning to think it was just me and I needed to start constructing a large tinfoil hat.

This election was more in the spotlight then ever before with the Internet and the 24 hour news cycle you could see each cause and effect that occurred at every particular moment and the impact it had on opinion. All the aspects just fall into place, the media, the candidates they presented to us and so on. Not many people spend as much time watching this stuff as us junkies do...it was all so contrived to me, like a giant circus, complete with complimentary cruise right after the election for all the “stars”.
