While pundits were quick to jump all over President Obama for “losing” the debate last week, this poker player of a President has to be pretty happy today for one simple reason… the weekend chatter is all about more Mitt Romney lies.

Fact-checkers everywhere note that Mitt Romney uttered 29 lies in just 37-minutes. So the question is, who won the debate? Was it the wonkishly calm, nerdy sitting president or the attack dog challenger who had five full length rehearsals in three days and been preparing since July?

EVERYONE in the pundit class is now asking the simple question: “why can’t Mitt Romney tell the truth?” The 37th edition of Steve Benen’s weekly tabulation of lies: Chronicling Mitt’s Mendacity was released Friday on Maddow blog.

37 weekly editions devoted to lies. There were 50 lies told last week. A typical week sees 20-35. Yet 29 were uttered during the debate alone, the rest out on the stump. The grand total number of lies uttered since the start of the campaign in late 2011?

767

Just let that sink in.
