Mitt Romney caught in SuperPAC lie

Willard exclaims "Of course the PAC is run by my former staffers"

During this morning's Meet The Press debate, Mitt Romney claimed he has never seen the negative ads produced by the PAC supporting him, and that he is not involved in any of the planning. Then just minutes later he detailed all the major attacks in one of the ads... so, he has either seen these ads airing, or he planned or viewed them before they went public, and either way he's caught in a lie.

My guess is that before 6pm today, his staff will find a written account of one of the ads and claim that Mitt read that in the newspaper and that was how he knew the content. Or they may fall back on the idea that he hasn't seen ALL of them, but did see the one he detailed air on TV.

Huntsman looks like the only GOP guy who could give Barrack a serious run, so in many ways I am grateful that his words appear to float above the heads of his competitors and audience.
