"A 1990 study of pathological liars in New York City
found that those who could avoid follow-up questions
were significantly more successful at their deceptions."

This is where to catch Romney, by persistently requesting/
demanding clarification and specifics from him.

Shine a bright light on every lie he's telling, make him
clarify & defend them, with lots of follow up questions.

Even his now-endorsing peers unanimously saw him
as a liar, flipflopper, untrustworthy, & deluded only a few
months ago. I doubt if any of them have changed their
minds in private.
