Is McCain unable to use a computer because of war injuries?
He can type. But using a keyboard for long periods is uncomfortable for him. He says he's been an "illiterate" on a computer. But he says now he's learning to use the Internet.
What was the population of Wasilla, Alaska, when Sarah Palin was mayor?
When she took office, it was about 5,000. The population has been growing since.
Did Sarah Palin sell the Alaska governor's jet on eBay?
The jet was placed on eBay for sale, but it wasn't purchased from the site. The plane was eventually sold through an aircraft broker to businessman Larry Reynolds for less than the asking price and the original cost.
Is that a real photo of Sarah Palin holding a rifle and wearing a bikini?
It's a fake - Palin's head on the body of a woman who posed for it in 2004 as a joke. We have the full story of how this image was created and spread like a virus, fooling many.
Does McCain want to ban "all" abortions?
He has said he favors a Constitutional amendment that would outlaw abortion. He would allow exceptions in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is at stake.
Did McCain crash five planes? Did he cause the 1967 Forrestal fire?
No. Chain e-mails and Internet postings that make that claim are mistaken. One crash was found to be his fault, but the Navy commended his piloting skills.
Did John McCain cheat on his first wife?
He courted his current wife, Cindy, for months before divorcing Carol Shepp in 1980. He recently called the breakup of his first marriage "my greatest moral failure." But Shepp has been quoted as saying "we are still friends."
Does Barack Obama have Kenyan citizenship?
No. He held both U.S. and Kenyan citizenship as a child, but lost his Kenyan citizenship automatically on his 23rd birthday.
Did a Billy Graham team member say Obama should be defeated "to save America"?
No. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association says a widely quoted anti-Obama screed wasn't written by anyone associated with the organization.
Did Obama say we "are no longer a Christian nation"?
He said we are no longer "just" a Christian nation, but a nation of many other faiths as well. A chain e-mail drops that key word and thus changes the meaning.
