For those like me who wonder just how true politicians really are in their advertising, a good source to turn to is Politifact.com, a non-partisan source that keeps a constant watchful eye on both Democrats and Republicans.
The site currently has several posts evaluating the advertisements that are running around the nation for various candidates.  One of the things researchers found is that the themes were the same throughout the United States...only the name of the candidate changed.
As one of Politifact's researchers stated in a post entitled "The Voter Guide:  Seven Key Distortions of the Campaign", 

With so many political jobs at stake around the country this year, you might expect campaigns would be different from state to state. But in fact-checking the campaigns, we've been surprised at the similarities. Candidates are reading from the same scripts regardless of whether they're running in California or Florida, in Nevada or Indiana.

And so we present our Voter's Guide for Election Day, a handy summary of the main claims we've checked. The links will take you to more in-depth reports and complete sources. Chances are, you've heard these lines and you may have wondered if they were true.

If you immediately begin criticizing this as a Democratic post,  I'll know you didn't read what the author had to say, so better read her comments first.
