Convention Fact Checking

Here's a couple articles about fact checking the RNC and DNC.

RNC ("Mitt Romney avoided major falsehoods in making his case to the American public while accepting the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention."):

DNC ("a number of dubious or misleading claims on the first night of the Democratic National Convention"):
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-09-05/fact-check-democratic-national-convention/57596574/1

This one it particularly scathing: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/fact-checking-bill-clintons-speech-and-other-democrats-at-the-convention-in-charlotte/2012/09/06/55b9df68-f7e1-11e1-8b93-c4f4ab1c8d13_blog.html



Neither party is perfect, but the democrats have a long history of "dubious", "misleading", "gimmicky" and underhanded tactics.
