Romney's Big Lie Strategy

Wow, I'm amazed that Romney's big lie strategy is working. It's not really the the lies are so outlandish that they succeed out of sheer audacity--which is the traditional conception of the big lie strategy. Rather, the Romney campaign simply flat-out lies, repeatedly, and ignores it when they are finally called out.

And their gamble has paid off thus far...though even our comatose press corps seems to be getting fed up. Here's James Downie calling our Ryan on his bullshit-packed speech last night.
