Mitt lies so much so often and invents new ones all of the time. If I was Obama, I would simply look people in the face and say, "Go look up what he said. Don't even wait for the fact checkers to tell you. Just go do it now and form your own judgement."

Look for it when he starts to get a little panicked.

He will continue to morph his positions and duck any details. He will tell teh same lies he has been telling. This debate format doesn't give Obama much of an opportunity to set the record straight. This gives a huge advantage to a person like Romney who simply has no regard for the truth.

Whatever we might say about McCain, he wasn't generally a fllat-out liar, and a town hall debate in that case give an advantage to the debater who most easily relates to people. But the conventional logic goes right out the window with you have a person without any scruples.
