Large liars with loads of money win.

Just ask Bill White whose opponent, Rick Perry, won with large lies and loads of money.

1. Particularly in political debates, facts are irrelevant and image is king.

4. Sadly, true.

Our political system stinks.

2. That helped really helped Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina too

Yup.

6. Big difference. They ran in California, where there are brighter voters.

3. Nope. "What goes around, comes around."

I'm not ancient but I'm old enough to have seen this saying come true multiple times. Mitt Romney is going to live to regret that debate. The Romney campaign is going to have to spend the next few weeks on damage/lie control...not what they want to be doing so close to the end.

5. I hope so.

It is the amount of money they have that amazes me.
