   QOS: you seem to be up to date on election misinformation issues, but in case you haven’t seen this yet, check out PolitiFact: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/710/

   I wish more people would look into McCain’s lies. My stomach flops every time I hear him or Palin.

   One thing to keep in mind is that both parties spin everything. Regardless of your political point of view, the other side is always trying to do some spin.

   I took a look at the site that feefifoto sent and ran some quick numbers:

   Obama(was “true” or “mostly true”): 54%
   Biden: 42%
   McCain: 40%
   Palin: 57%

   So, while McCain appears to be running a more deceitful campaign, you can’t say that Obama is really running a truthful campaign.

   As a side note: http://www.factcheck.org/ is another great site for digging into what the politicians say.
