I think both candidates support socialism as evidenced by both McCain and Obama voting for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. Allowing the federal government to own private businesses, purchase bad debt stemming from bad business decisions, and generally prop up institutions that should be allowed to go under is about as socialist as you can get. How do you know when a politician is lying? Their lips move. By they way, the only way to successfully run for office, especially high office, is to put out propaganda. Our job as citizens is to research the claims and cut through the propaganda.
Propaganda, the tool of facists

Everyone is treating the word "socialism" like it's an inherrently bad thing. What about social democracies in scandanavia? They seem to have their stuff together pretty well. The redistribution of wealth is a constant, the only difference is in which direction the wealth flows. When it's republican / conservatives...it flows to the wealthy...when it's a democrat, it flows the other direction.
