Romney vs Obama – The Tale of the Tape
The advantages each candidate has in their matchup. First up, Romney: 1) Willingness to lie his ass off. I would say that this is more than a willingness, it is an eagerness.

Uhrig said Zimmerman has taken his own steps since they lost contact with him on Sunday, including; 1) Setting up his own website under a different Web address than what the attorneys had arranged with him; 2) Speaking to Fox News' Sean Hannity by phone, apparently off the record ("(Hannity) is not willing to tell us what our client told him"); and 3) Calling the special prosecutor's office directly, as opposed to through his attorneys, and offering to come in and answer investigators' questions (The prosecutor's office told Zimmerman that they weren't going to talk to him without counsel, Uhrig said).
