PBS' Frontline program recently aired an episode about the 2008 election. It was compelling, informative, and as far as I could tell, unbiased. You'll probably learn something along the way.

You can also download it for free on iTunes. That's probably the best way - the quality is about that of a DVD. The file on iTunes was 1.2 GB but only took 10-20 minutes to download.
FRONTLINE's critically acclaimed series "The Choice" returns this election season to examine the rich personal and political biographies of John McCain and Barack Obama in "The Choice 2008." The film draws on in-depth interviews with the advisers, friends and those closest to the candidates, as well as with seasoned observers of American politics, who together tell the definitive story of these men and their ascent to their party's nominations.
Runtime: About 2 hrs.
