It's still on, but the show is at the midseason point where they mix in new episodes with reruns which everyone seems to do now. Old episodes about Romney flip-flopping, making gaffes, and not releasing tax returns are being brought back like we didn't see that stuff already in the spring.
The new material is fairly dull, too. Romney's European Vacation arc was a blatant rehash of the Obama Overseas plot from the 2008 season. I also agree they should bring back fan favorites like Cain and Bachmann for more than brief cameos, although the writers seem hesitant to do so. There's some hope, though- they recently brought back Huckabee, who guest starred in an episode about gays and a chicken restaurant (not as interesting as it sounds, and was mostly a filler episode anyway, although everyone on facebook seemed to be talking about it).
My biggest concern is that the writers don't make it interesting. Unless they throw a huge curveball in somewhere, it looks obvious how the season will end. Does anyone remember the 2000 finale? Now that was an intense plot. I hope the writers know what they're doing, at least. Don't blame you at all for not following the show anymore, King.
