I think the tone the O campaign is using against rMoney is pitch perfect

Not just because they're on the offense but because the tone of mockery is just so fitting. They're off to a good start. I hope they keep the gloves off and keep the attacks up.

The attacks are reasonable, well thought out and hitting the mark. They are playing it just right so far.

Kudos to the campaign.

you know that they get overconfident about lying.

Obvious lies where there is no plausibily of denial... even those, they never, ever admit that they lied. Instead, they act offended (and probably feel frustrated) that you won't let up with the calling-out of their lie. They get mad that you keep pressing them. They avoid you instead, once they know their game is up.

Mitt Romney is a habitual liar, but because of his social & hierarchical standing, he regularly goes unchallenged on whoppers.
