who the senators are from Alabama in eleven months. There will be a seeming eternity of news cycles between the last gasp of the GOP voting to seat Moore and November 6, 2018. Bright shiny objects will come into view, hover for a few moments, then disappear without a trace. Grab a newspaper or national news magazine from six months ago, and see how many of the big stories there are even a flicker on the screen today.

The American public has a short attention span because the news media feeds them that way.
