Resource for political editors

I just wanted to highlight a great site created by the organization I interned for. It's called Politifact, and it evaluates the "truthiness" of what certain candidates say.

This resource is off line for now, but it will start up again in January to fact check the White House and various Washington politicos. You can still access their content indirectly on their site. Check it out. Particularly of note is the "Flip-O-Meter," which evaluates whether candidates changed their minds on certain issues.

Too often, I heard people spewing inaccurate information about the presidential candidates. I usually try to direct them to this great site.
