So after he calls something a lie, as he did in the debates regarding things like the $5 trillion tax cut (using words like "not true"), then everybody that has not made up their mind is clear? I have no objection to correcting false accusations but I'm just not sure that alone is the main key to victory. Obama had the ability to run ads for a long period when the Romney campaign could not. They gambled that taking advantage of that summer window would be worth a big money bet and the bet paid off. That and other things.

Willard allowed Newt to define him. The Dems came along after the fact. Willard can't call out lies; he's the champ. Nobody outlies Willard. Ask Newt. Here is his best week... IIRC, he had 27 in 38 minutes. That's really impressive. Here's y'all's problem... You watch Faux. Seek the truth for a change. Chronicling Mitt's Mendacity, Vol. XXXVII By Steve Benen - Fri Oct 5, 2012 2:45 PM EDT Joe Conason watched the presidential candidates' debate this week, and had a reaction I could relate to. "'It's not easy to debate a liar,' complained an email from one observer of the first presidential debate -- and there was no question about which candidate he meant. Prevarication, falsification, fabrication are all familiar tactics that have been employed by Mitt Romney without much consequence to him ever since he entered public life," Conason wrote. Concerns along these lines were not uncommon yesterday. In fact, note David Gergen's take from Wednesday night: [iframe height=429 src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xcwgDULlQB0" frameBorder=0 width=600 allowfullscreen=""][/iframe] "I think [President Obana] was so surprised, he thought Romney was just flat-out lying," Gergen said. And if the president was thinking that, he had good reason to. Consider, for example, the 38th installment of my weekly series -- easily the longest of 2012 -- chronicling Mitt's mendacity. maddowblog.msnbc.com
