Will Ryan outshine Mitt's ‘Gish’ on Thursday?

According to Romney, the answer to that question is - who knows?  You see, during an interview on CNN, Romney said “I think this is Paul’s first debate.” – “He may have done something in high school, we don’t know.”  The truth is Ryan has done 15-20 debates.  How hard could it have been for Romney to state the truth for a simple matter like that -  he's  not defending something he said or did; he's  not defending a political ideology; he's not attacking his opponent - it's like a sickness with him. I just don't get it.


Beyond digging through Romney lies regarding Ryan’s debate history, the key question for tomorrow is...


Will Ryan outshine Romney’s 'Gish Gallop' debate tactic on Thursday?


The Gish Gallop debate tactic was developed by Duane Gish.  The technique involves drowning out one’s opponent with a “torrent of half-truthslies, and straw-man arguments that the opponent can’t possibly answer every falsehood in real time.”


Romney stated "27 lies in 38" minutes during the first presidential debate.  Let’s see if Paul can beat Romney’s record tomorrow night!


P.S. 
Other things to look for when Ryan debates are characteristics observers saw in Ryan’s 1998 debate for Congress:  completely ignoring the moderators, deceptive, refusing to answer questions,  and showing pretended indignation when caught off  his game.
