Andrew Sullivan has been keeping track.  We are up to 15 now…

I’m posting this because none of the direct, indisputably proven, factual untruths that Palin has uttered has yet to be retracted by this candidate or her running mate. When you have a leading politician running on a record of outright lies, and those lies are deemed irrelevant, you have a problem. Each one has been fact-checked to near-death. They are not the usual political lie – hyperbole, parsing, exaggeration, spin. They are factual, checkable, indisputable untruths.
