Upon Further Review: Mitt Romney May Have Cheated To Win The Debate
Over the past day the game tape of the debate has been reviewed. While Mitt Romney still enjoys the afterglow of the debate, the lies and half truths he told are being dissected.
From tax policy to hiring teachers. From cracking down on Wall Street (and Sesame Street) to coverage for the uninsured. From Medicare to shipping jobs overseas the fact checkers have been very busy correcting the record and pointing out falsehoods.
Even Team Romney had to correct the candidate on health care immediately after the debate.
As I predicted earlier this week, Romney had an October Surprise planned for the President – new policy ideas. But I had no idea that Romney would just lie about everything he had said over the past year and a half.
As the President said, Mitt Romney’s bright new idea is: Never Mind!
But there was a moment in the debate that will be discussed in the days ahead that everyone missed until yesterday.
A review of the debate tape reveals that, apparently, Mitt Romney needed a cheat sheet to keep the lies straight. The rules of the presidential debates are clear about not bringing outside notes and presidents and aspirants have followed the rule for decades.

maintained his composure and managed to get his vision through. He seemed exhausted, but has been kind of busy lately. He has never been a great debater; however he made no mistakes.
That was the minimum of what he needed to do, and he did it.
Notice the focus the next day, aside from Romney being dubbed the winner on "style" by the media (never mind how the audience may have viewed him or that he was the media's pre-determined winner no matter what in order to keep this a "horse race"
, was on 2 other things: the lies and Big Bird.
And the focus 2 days later is on a couple other things: Cheating -- the improved jobs report; Cheating -- Romney at the debate; Romney's team walking back one of his lies, and Romney apologizing for calling 47% of America moochers.
Not real big wins, and I doubt his little bump will last long. 
p.s. I accept your apology, Romney. I don't doubt you are sorry you were caught calling me a moocher. I'm still not voting for you. I didn't vote for you in Massachusetts when I still had a good job, which I subsequently lost, tyvm.
