Mitt Romney won first presidential debate because he was better at misleading voters - NYPost

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/best-lie-wins-article-1.1177301

You want to know why Mitt Romney looked better than Barack Obama did last Wednesday night, why he came out of that debate looking like a winner? Because Romney was more persuasive making up stuff than the President was, that’s why.

That is what the election of 2012 might come down to at the end, if you are one of the people who actually needs these debates to make up your mind about Obama or Romney: Which one of them is better able to sell you a vision for the future like they are selling you a used car.

... Or perhaps a used country.

ANALYSIS: WHY OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN IS FALLING APART

Oh, Romney was much better at it in Denver. This was the first time his career in business seemed to help him. This was Bain Capital Romney, the guy who used to make leveraged buyouts sound like the closest thing to heaven on Earth. Didn’t matter how he scored points. Just that he scored them.
