I have never felt so disappointed in a story on NHPR, or NPR, for that matter, in that it was a complete waste of time. Please. No more of this. There was no humor, information, or emotional center (I have no idea what you were actually shooting for)- and it was way too long. One interviewee professed to not like or know much about politics, but nonetheless waxed philosophical on the subject within the context of dog psychology (Deep. Very deep.). The other "whimsically" likens the candidates to breeds of dogs. (We even got to hear him change his mind about Obama! Enthralling!)
Whoever gave this one the green light misjudged. I forgive you, but expect better - WAY better - in this crucial election season.
