Campaign 2008

Per the Reverend Wright, Politicians do what politicians do. They say what they and their handlers think they must say in order to get elected. At the end of the day, a candidate's history is the better gauge of what they will do than what they said while campaigning. Campaigning is about getting elected and has little to do with governing. In that regard why not just do an honest job of learning about the lives of both candidates: their concrete accomplishments, voting records, writings, policy positions and economic preferences before deciding on your important vote.
