For weeks many Beltway insiders had written off the Romney campaign as
dead, saying the candidate had dug himself into too deep a hole with
too little time to recover. However, with a month to go before ballots
are cast, Romney has pulled even with President Obama, and the former
Massachusetts governor credits his rejuvenated campaign to one,
singular tactic: lying a lot.

"I'm lying a lot more, and my lies are far more egregious than they've
ever been," a smiling Romney told reporters while sitting in the back
of his campaign bus, adding that when faced with a choice to either
lie or tell the truth, he will more than likely lie. "It's a strategy
that works because when I lie, I'm essentially telling people what
they want to hear, and people really like hearing things they want to
hear. Even if they sort of know that nothing I'm saying is true."

"It's a freeing strategy, really, because I don't have to worry about
facts or being accurate or having any concrete positions of any kind,"
Romney added.
