The campaigns are really rough this year. **shakes head** Our local newspaper started about 6 weeks ago to "test" all the allegations. We have a daily "truth" meter.

Nominee X says Nominee Y did this. Did s/he? And the meter registers True, False, Half Truth, or Not the Entire Story. Then there is a short write up explaining how the paper came to their result.

The "worst" one from my perspective: Current Attorney General (who is running for reelection with 5 challengers, seems every party has a candidate in that race) did not charge the Providence Mayor's brother for fraud. Yes that was true BECAUSE under state law he is not permitted to, conflict of interest, he refers it to the Fed and THEY handled the prosecution. AND got the guilty verdict. So the Challenger makes it sound like the current AG messed up, when he did exactly the right thing. Talk about twisting the facts!
