The Fact Check Set This is the kind of statement that works for the fact-checkers at WaPo, CNN, etc. Mitt Romney: “So there’s no economist that can say Mitt Romney’s tax plan adds $5 trillion if I say I will not add to the deficit with my tax plan.” Here’s my plan. It cuts rates by 20%. But I say I won’t add debt. So no economist can say my plan does if I say I won’t. Makes sense, right? Josh Marshall

>>What Obama’s massive haul means is that the expectation that he will be badly outspent by Romney and his allies over the final days of the campaign could well be wrong. While we still expect the combination of Romney, RNC and outside conservative groups to outspend Obama, DNC and outside liberal groups on TV in the final 60 days, it won’t be by a three- or even four-to-one margin. And that matters. Money talks, after all.<< Let's hope this conclusion is spot on. What is left unsaid, however, is that money from the outside groups was, most likely, moving away from Romney toward the down ballot congressional campaigns before the debate. Now I have little doubt it's moving back toward Romney. Moreover, there's a lot of evidence that the top of the ballot is having a lot of effect on the senate races.
