Some Perspective on the Passage of Time

I'm not the only one who feels as if this primary has gone on forever. This from the NYTimes blog, The Caucus:

For perspective, consider America as it was when the battle effectively began — Oct. 22, 2006, when Mr. Obama said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he had changed his mind and was considering a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The average price of gas then stood at $2.20 a gallon.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld directed war strategy in Iraq.

J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, as speaker of the House, and Bill Frist of Tennessee, the Senate majority leader, called the signals in the Republican-controlled Congress.

Good lord, it's even been longer than I thought. Can this end soon, please?
