On September 2, 2008, David Brooks, writing in the New York Times, worried about John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate. "She shares McCain's primary weakness - that she has a tendency to substitute a moral philosophy for a political philosophy."
Today, Mitt Romney's GOP running mate, Paul Ryan, is under some scrutiny for misstating the truth in his nomination acceptance speech last week, and for a false description of his running time in a marathon.
The New York Daily News posits: "In his brief period on the national stage, Paul Ryan has demonstrated an uneasy relationship with the truth. His acceptance speech on Wednesday night was one of the most dishonest political speeches in recent U.S. political history. … Ryan’s incessant lying, including about marathon times, is actually pretty important."
