Most people I know have perfectly viable reasons for selecting either candidate, and honestly could have gone either way.
This election seems much cleaner to me than 2004. 2000 is all a blur to me, so I can't recall that one very well.

In my own group of friends (college, law school, work, etc.), definitely, I've seen what you described. Outside of those groups, though, things have been the exact opposite for me. My memory, which may be flawed, is that the past election cycles involved more of the mutual respect.
Again, that may just be my subjective perception, and it might not be an accurate picture of the reality of the situation.
