confident or thought a rest was better than last minute cramming.

One things for sure on the second debate he has to come right out and point out in detail Romney's lying about his own platform.

Mitt is using the classic Goebbels strategy, keep lying until the lie buries the truth. I'm not calling him a fascist but it is an historical fact that the big lie actually works.
