In preparation for Tuesday's voting, we take an across the board look at this election season -- including the highly contested U.S. Senate race in Missouri. We talk about how national trends have filtered down into politics in Missouri and have affected voter attitudes, political advertising and the democratic process.

Mr. Overby said something about the American people get the kind of politics they deserve. A collective change in the public to stop watching and remembering dirty politics probably isn't going to happen, but I think it's a lot like not looking away from a car crash.What type of negative outcry against negative campaigning could possibly make politicians stop?
