It's official: campaign fatigue has set in. The long pre-nomination campaign is giving a fair share of wear and tear to both Obama and Clinton, the Wall Street Journal reports; Barack Obama is publicly wishing his vacation wasn't so short; and Gail Collins is begging for it to stop:

We should have known this was coming when people started talking about how exciting the Clinton-Obama race is. We live, after all, in a country where the Christmas shopping season begins in October. We have a sports calendar in which basketball leaches into baseball, which leaches into football. Too much of a good thing is our middle name. Now, the Democratic primary has become the McMansion of politics.

Michael Kinsley, meanwhile, argues that Hillary has it worse, thanks to...cosmetics:

Every day, seven days a week, for almost two years, the candidates campaign. The average day is probably 15 to 20 hours. The average amount of sleep could be four hours. And yet every day the male candidates can sleep an extra precious half hour or more -- or spend the time cramming for the day -- simply because our culture doesn't impose the same rules on them about their appearance.

And there it is: the injustice of Maybelline. Maybe Hillary really was tired when she made those Bosnia comments after all...
