I'm a political junky. I love it. While everyone else seems to be getting sick of it, I'm fascinated by the process.
That said, I don't care who you vote for. I'd hope you all DO vote, but even then, who am I to try to tell you what to do?
But if you do vote, I'd hope you're making informed, educated decisions based not on campaign ads and news reports. Sure, Fox slants right. But guess what, CNN slants left. Watch both. See both sides. Then go out and read for yourself.
FactCheck.org is an awesome site, and they've got some great posts about myths regarding Sarah Palin AND Barack Obama. (I might point out that Palin is the ticket's #2, and as such, is really kind of irrelevant, but Obama seems to not know this.)

I'm not posting this to enter into a huge debate. If you disagree, by all means, post something contradicting it. I'm just putting it out there for all who are interested to read.
