The end is nigh.
For political junkies, the prospect of going cold turkey on Nov. 4 is terrifying--understandably so. In a new series for NEWSWEEK.com,
a group of the magazine's political scribes went on camera to discuss
life after Election Day--including yours truly. Whether you're
horrified (like me, at least a little) at the prospect of life without
Stumper or simply horrified at the sight of my sallow, unshaven visage
(the medical term for it is "Blogger's Tan"), I thought I'd post the
video here. Consider it my contribution to the All Hallow's (and
Election) Eve fright-fest.
Not scary enough for you? Then I'd heartily recommend reading Julia Ioffe's wonderful story over at the New Republic about "what..
covering a two-year campaign do[es] to the soul of a journalist." It's
full of post-election speculation from luminaries like Candy Crowley,
Ryan Lizza, Hendrik Hertzberg, Ben Smith and, rather incongruously, me.
Warning: navel-gazing ahead:
Younger journalists who came of age in this election are anxious for more personal reasons. Andrew Romano came to Newsweek
to do long feature pieces but was conscripted as a blogger. "I'm not
one of these crazy political junkies," he told me after another long
blogging shift, in which he struggled not to say, "Obama is winning
today, too." "It's not my life... [So] for a long time I was feeling like, 'I'm looking forward to this being
over and going back to writing long-form journalism as opposed to
writing multiple stories every day.'" But then a funny thing happened.
His blog, long buried on Newsweek's website, started drawing
nearly four million hits a month, making Romano the site's most-read
author. "It's kind of like, this is who I am now. So the idea of the
campaign being over and not doing a politics blog is a little bit like,
who am I after this election?"
Spoooooky. Or, you know, not.
Which reminds me. My NEWSWEEK colleague Sarah Kliff has a new story
up about other political junkies are preparing for withdrawal. But I'd
be interested to hear how you, loyal Stumper readers, are coping.
Afraid or relieved? Or a little of both? The comments, as always, are
all yours.

Into a political season that has already seen the McCain campaign put out its share of sharp and sometimes misleading anti-Obama ads comes this higher note: John McCain congratulating his opponent on his nomination.

Spotted by NEWSWEEK's Jonathan Darman:
"Rep. Rahm Emanuel and entourage, making their way into the
Politico/Glover Park Group party on Tuesday night after exiting a black
suburban with a three police-car escort. For good measure, as Rahm
worked the room inside, his motorcade picked up a fourth car that
joined the others in blocking part of Market Street. Clearly, Democrats
will do whatever it takes to avoid the Constitutional crisis that would
no doubt ensue in the event of something unfortunate happening to the
House Democratic Caucus Chairman. Rest easy, independent voters, Rahm
and the Republic are safe."
