Personally, I'm more than fine with another four years of not having to hear hear another breathless reporter describing how the dedicated political geeks comprising 4-8% of the population of a state that's not particularly representative of the country spend months engaging in retail politics, handshaking, and divining electability to turn up on a cold winter's night instead of going to work or watching the Orange Bowl for the sake of forming preference groups, determining viability, and choosing the president.
