*nodnod* It'd be twelve degrees of impossible to calculate how many jerky and/or illegal scare tactics, misinformation and even incidents of physical violence are perpetrated on each side; sadly enough, some people (not you) are content to throw them back and forth till one runs out, in which case the other "wins." Duuuuumb. And who knows how many of these things are known/approved by the candidates themselves? Not me.

It's kind of silly not to argue that the media's paying more attention to potentially racist or assholish Obama detractors--I've never seen any stories I can remember about people being bullies or outright dicks to McCain supporters, or if I have, it ends on a "See, the Book of Revelations said he was the Antichrist!! Poor people suck!!" note, which kind of pisses on its credibility. That said? Damn my brain if I ever thus conclude that it doesn't ever happen. Gahhh.

We should become omniscient and just get it over with.
