The lesser of two evils -or- the devil you know...

[partly]

To make things easier, I've decided to base my vote for president on which ever party airs the least amount of negative/attack ads between now and the election.

I think it's a damn fine plan.

Of course, since I've taken to time-shifting my television viewing and skipping all the commercials with the express desire of not subjecting myself to the stupid ads.

I did another one, whoever lied the least, or at least stretched the truth the least in the Debates, or in Ads... that way I am not biased based on where I live. Mainly using sites like factcheck.org that lay out the evidance, yet stop at making judgements

To be honest, being where you live you are probably being targeted differently and might end up with a bias based on that fact

Since most of the negative/attack ads are full of lies and stretching the truth, I fully understand this.

To be honest, being where you live you are probably being targeted differently and might end up with a bias based on that fact.

This doesn't make me feel any better. Anyone who thinks that, based solely on my zip code, I can be bullied, threatened or scared into voting a certain way doesn't deserve my vote. And quite honestly, if the candidate is so out of touch with what life is really like where I live, why should I believe that they will have any understanding of what we need or want once they are president?
