Mitt Romney's Debate Preparation Takes Wrong Turn as He Loses to Siri
With the first Presidential debate just two days away, G.O.P. nominee Mitt Romney has been working intensively on two skills that have eluded him throughout the campaign: talking and thinking.
According to one aide, much of Mr. Romneys debate preparation has involved rehearsing a slew of prepackaged zingers, with mixed results: We gave him what we thought was a foolproof line about the budget deficit and he somehow turned it into a crack about gay Mexicans.
Reportedly, Mr. Romneys practice debates have gone worse than expected, with the former Massachusetts governor getting trounced by a variety of opponents, including the Apple personal assistant Siri.

There was a name posted for the actual technique Romney used in the debate -- it involves flooding your opponent with statements and numbers, doesn't matter if they are true or not, just so you sound like you have all the answers at your fingertips. Kind of like being a Clinton-wannabe. Let me just dub this the Bullshit Blitz, because that is what it is.
