It will only get worse as we get closer to election time.
Both parties will try to dig up whatever dirt they can find, most of which has nothing to do with either ethics or the ability of the candidates to run the country.

I think I have said earlier that in this election regardless of which party you support we have totally lost sight of what is most important and that is who will put this country back on track.

As unfortunate as it is, it has become both a popularity contest, a contest, yes a contest of race, gender and popularity not issues.
Yes, Sarah Palin is prettier than Joe Biden. Yes, Obama is an articulate speaker SO WHAT?
