I feel your pain when trying to decide on candidates. I don't think that commercials from the opponents are good ways to judge the other candidate. However, the story about Al Franken not paying his taxes has been widely reported and he's admitted to not paying them. Right now the Coleman campaign is just capitalizing on that with their ads. For me, a good place to start in the process to make a decision when I'm undecided is the debates, where you get to see the candidates "in action," so to speak. Also, another way is to list what's important to me and see where candidates match up.

And the Franken campaign is twisting reality, too. The advertising on both sides regarding this race is disgraceful!
