Election campaigning in a nutshell

You may have seen in the news recently the quote from Isobel Cohen who, successfully, took a university finals exam only 28 hours after giving birth, attached to a catheter and dosed up on painkillers:

At the time it seemed like a perfectly legitimate thing to do, but now I think it’s slightly insane.

An excellent epitaph for the exertions involved in many an election campaign too I think!
