All Politics, All the Time

Gail Collins writes in her NYT column:

Our two-year presidential campaign now ends with a monthlong vote, followed by weeks of litigation over provisional ballots. After that, the new president is sworn in and given 100 days to accomplish his legislative agenda, after which everyone will start plotting for 2012.

Isn't there something wrong here with this picture? When are we going to allow our leaders to govern? Or are we doomed to perpetual campaigns, nonstop, year-round, year-in and year-out? It seems crazy.
