Is it Election Day yet?!

I've seen it everywhere the past few weeks: "I'm sick of this election." "I don't really care about the candidates anymore." "Let's get this over with." I've noticed that many people are tired of hearing about the upcoming election, and simply don't care anymore.

But why? Are there too many messages in the media? Are we constantly being bombarded with fliers, commercials, magazine ads, newspaper articles, buttons and bumper stickers to the point where it's almost annoying? And if so,  how is it impacting the candidates?

I remember the last election, but I don't remember it being this... chaotic, I guess. Anyone else? Would love to hear your thoughts on this, and the way our candidates are being presented in the media in general...
