This article from CNN warns us all about the depressing, inane, and repetitive torture that the political news media is going to carry out against the American public in the next two months:

Columbia, South Carolina (CNN) — A Republican presidential race that has been anything but slow kicks into an even higher gear this week.

A Republican power player’s forum with most of the major GOP White House candidates on Labor Day will be followed by five presidential debates over the next six weeks.

Add in a bunch of major cattle calls for the candidates, a straw poll in an important early voting state, the possibility of another major entry into race and some flashpoints in the national debate over jobs and cutting the massive federal budget deficit, and the crowded campaign calendar over the next two months could alter a nomination battle that went through a major transformation just a month ago.
