Its all a matter of degrees. But the Romney campaign tends to get dinged more by the fact checkers than Obama, but neither are clean.

I think the big lie of the campaign so far has been the Romney campaign ads about Obama dropping work requirement from Medicare. That was ranked as a 'pants on fire' lie, yet the Romney campaign has run two multimilion ad campaigns on it. And it is just so craven to try and dredge up the old Welfare Queen type of resentment (which some think has a racial element too).

Anyone who doesnt see how both campaigns are dirty is a hack

Biden's chains thing was wrong, Obama did the Shamus thing recently. And they have twisted things and gone out of context in their ads too.

But I'm not sure this year is any dirtier than past years (and we still have time yet)

I agree with Dana Milbank's recent WaPo column:
