>Politicians before an election resort to many nasty things to make themselves look “good”.

I'm not sure that works to their advantage each time. I'm just watching (no sound, thanks) what they advertise... and actually the Dems come out nicely :). Their candidate is described as a guy with "ideas" - wow, they just admitted the guy uses his head instead of parroting talking points, cool. "Wants to increase taxes" - ah, that's what you're afraid of, that the rich may begin paying some? Cool too. "Wants to increase gas tax" - while your big oil buddies are raking in billions all year, and just show some restraint few weeks before the elections?

And his oponent is that macaca guy... and the other guy's opponent is the red-handed Thelma Drake? C'mon, you don't have players in this race. If I was a voter, I'd know where to place my bets. As just an observer, I'm finally having some fun.
