LA Times: Obsessed? Addicted? It's politics
Are you experiencing disturbing, election-related thoughts? When you close your eyes at night, do the colors of CNN's "magic" electoral map dance in your head like red and blue sugarplums? When you get in your car and hear the same talk-radio personalities saying the same things they said the last time you got in the car, do you wonder what day it is? Are you getting carpal tunnel syndrome from hitting "refresh" at political websites and blogs?

6. Why do you ask? It's not even 3 AM yet, so why should I stop refreshing DU?
I can stop this any time I want to. Really I can. No problem. Gotta go to GDP now, then Breaking News, then back here....
