EDITED IN, September 23: Ethan Winner admitted to being the author of the video in question, but implausibly claims to have done it on his own without any collaboration from his family's PR company - which then just decided to push it as hard as possible! Lucky boy, eh?

This race is about as dirty as it can get. Factcheck.org is a fascinating site which gives details of all of the lies being circulated arround by both parties and their supporters.

How did American politics get so polarised? There seems to be a 'win at all costs' attitude that permits, or at least tolerates, lying and cheating as simply part of the game.

A couple of asides, I note your warnings over Alitalia seem to be coming true and i'd be interested in your views of what the American Government's actions to save the financial markets mean for the 'free-market'?

I do find it interesting how much effort is being put into smearing Palin, while Biden is virtually untouched in this race. Come on, the man has been in Washington forever (forgive me, the exact year tally escapes me). He's gotta have dirt and skeletons just like the rest of us.

PLUS, much of the trash I've seen about Palin has to do with her family and if she's done/doing a good job raising them. BY FEMINISTS. Last I checked, there were two parents in that household, and Mr. Palin has more than enough time in his schedule to pick up the slack while his wife governs. Bitterly ironic that the very women who champion getting a woman out of the kitchen and wearing shoes are trying to put another successful woman back there.
