The only reason I pay attention and vote is because of the life time appointments that the Prez's make on the Supreme Court, If it wasn't for that I wouldn't give a chit. I don't even mind a split congress, in fact I prefer it.

Were past the point of election cycles making much of a difference, except for SC Judges.
