5. I wonder about that with folks like Jon Stewart.

He presumably voted for Obama. But don't you think, as he looked at that ballot, he had at least a fleeting thought of what the next four years would be like for him, as an entertainer, if Romney/Ryan won? I mean, his problem for every show would be trying to decide which hilarious bits to leave out to fit the time constraint.

Also, just as you say about Faux and the gang, Stewart could count on higher ratings if he could spend four years making fun of a Republican President.

Jon, if you had these thoughts before voting for Obama, I forgive you. It's only human nature.
