I'm not sure what format will be used tomorrow, but Biden did the right thing in HIS debate. You can't let conservatives "stack" their lies. You have to react immediately to each one, either with a correction, a laugh, a smirk, or whatever. Also, don't allow FALSE EQUIVALENCE, like Romney's "trickle-down government" nonsense.
