Oh my goodness, do we feel bad now:
"A 4-year-old Fort Collins girl expressed her frustration over the seemingly never-ending presidential campaign," Denver's 9News reports. "Viewer Elizabeth Evans said she and her daughter, Abigael, were listening to NPR on a trip to the grocery store Tuesday when [Abigael] started tearing up.
"The mother asked Abigael why she was crying and she responded, 'I'm tired of Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney.' "
You will want to watch the video.
On behalf of NPR and all other news outlets, we apologize to Abigael and all the many others who probably feel like her. We must confess, the campaign's gone on long enough for us, too. Let's just keep telling ourselves: "Only a few more days, only a few more days, only a few more days."
Meanwhile, have any of your children said something like that? Do you feel like Abigael? Tell us in the comments thread.
Oh, and if you can't get enough of the campaign news, check It's All Politics. Warning: it may make children cry.
