I think there's been hypocrisy on both sides throughout the entire process. I have said, consistently, that I think both sides are responsible, and neither side can take any kind of high ground on this. The whole thing, on both ends, has gotten pretty ridiculous. This election is the closest I've ever come to voting third party.

Agreed. I do not listen to media talking heads that lean in either direction because they all spout 'facts' that haven't been checked, and speak rhetoric for the sake of ratings. The thing that is different for me in this election is that it is getting harder and harder to decipher the truth from the lies from both parties. I would love to make an educated decision here, but it is becoming a daunting task trying to verify what I hear. Official political ads can be blatantly false (Obama's sex ed in kindergarten) and emails from 'Alaskans' land in my mail box daily(most are obviously written by someone who has never been the state...but some are legit...check out snopes) Bill O'Reilly shouts statistics (70,000 Alaskan gov. employees...really?) and CNN pundits do the same(how many caribou did Palin shoot in one day?). When did it become OK to spout off supposed facts without double checking them? Maybe I was unaware during the last election, but it just seems like it is worse this election.
