Ok, I am not usually a MTV news fan, but they did a writeup on how YouTube will not allow people to forget gaff's this year. At least someone is having fun :)

It’s October, and if we’re being perfectly honest, despite the economy collapsing, despite the mortgage crisis and the war and all the issues facing the country right now, we have to admit this is the most fun election ever. And one source is responsible for a lot of that fun: YouTube.
Remember when a candidate used to say something stupid on the campaign trail? We used to be satisfied with a healthy run on the 24-hour cable news cycle, where a few pundits would dissect said statement and either shake their heads in righteous outrage or nervously try to appease whatever constituency was offended.
Even with cable news, you started to get the impression that politicians only said stupid, self-destructive things occasionally. And then YouTube happened.

This does get back to frustrations on what is going on and on the reasons for it is access to information. YouTube provides many ways to get informed of a candidate's position, good and bad.
