Prediction time!

Will the Mittster's speech tonight contain more or less blatant lies in it than Lyin' Paul Ryan's speech last night?

I mean, damn, Lyin' Paul Ryan weaved quite the tapestry of lies last night. It was beautiful, in a sick, twisted sort of way. You gotta give the guy credit. He has absolutely no shame.

Will Romney be able to compete with that?

But Ryan is better at weaving it. Romneys lies are mechanical and he can't remember what the last one was. He doesn't have to, he's Mitt fucking Romney. He's rich and he can lie if he wants to. The help have never corrected him before.

Ryan can make his lies sound more realistic that Romney can. Ryan has had to learn that skill because he's not Mitt fucking Romney ultra millionaire, yet.

They think they can get away with it. I think they're wrong about that this time.

The NYT says that Romney is going to go into his religion tonight too, to make himself more likable. All things considered, it should be a pip of a speech (from our pov). It could backfire on him a lot.
