Bronco Bama Girl, NPR Apologizes To Girl Tired Of 'Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney' [Video]
With Election Day nearing, excessive campaign coverage can be a little too much, as one Colorado girl found out.
Abigael Evans, a 4-year-old girl from Fort Collins, Colo., expressed her grief during an interview by a local news team that was later posted to YouTube.
The young girl's mother, Elizabeth Evans, told reporters with Denver9 News that while listening to National Public Radio on their drive to the grocery store, her daughter became sad and had tears in her eyes.
When asked what made her so sad, the little girl responded saying, "I'm tired of Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney."
News of the Abigael's sadness reached NPR executives who posted on the site's blog, "Oh my goodness, do we feel bad now."
The radio network continued: "On behalf of NPR and all other news outlets, we apologize to Abigael and all the many others who probably feel like her. We must confess, the campaign's gone on long enough for us, too. Let's just keep telling ourselves: 'Only a few more days, only a few more days, only a few more days.'"
Citizens of Colorado have experienced increased political advertisements on television and radio. The bombardment of the swing-state has left some citizens fatigued by the pressure of both President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney.
As of Thursday, Obama has a .6 lead in voter support over Romney in the state worth nine electoral votes, according to RealClearPolitics.
With Election Day on Nov. 6, many people in the state have decided to vote early. Yahoo News interviewed early voters in Aurora, Colo., to ask why they decided to vote early. The most common response from many was simply, "To get it over with."
