To everyone that hates stuff like this getting posted (I'm one of them), just remember that a presidential election is the biggest media circus of the year, and it lasts a really long time. It affects every American (and some would say the rest of the world as well) and coverage is so pervasive it's hard to avoid, so some of it is going to seep in. For those that wish to post political articles, please consider that a significant portion of the readers of Hacker News greatly dislike the tone that political discussion often takes. If you decide to post something, please make sure it is 1) fair and even handed, 2) not polarizing, and 3) loosely related to Hacker News in general. A big thank you in advance to everyone who helps keep things civil over the next (oy) 10 months.
