Why Ryan's lie regarding his marathon time should be important to the Republicans

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/runner-first-questioned-paul-ryan-marathon-time-speaks-155321505--election.html

And it all started with one question on a message board.

"I just wanted to know," Walker said in an interview posted Wednesday on LetsRun.com. "If he had really run a marathon in that range, I would be impressed because I know the effort that goes into a sub-three-hour marathon. But, if he was lying or really stretching the truth, I thought that would be significant since he had just been nominated to run for Vice-President on the Republican ticket."

Walker says he is a registered Republican, but will be voting for President Barack Obama in November.


this 63 year old (Romney's demographics high percentage voters) is not please with these verifiable lies. What are the chances, he's talking to others, and now doing his own fact checking on other issues?

When a person will lie so casually, about small stuff he doesn't need to lie about. It may be a dumb thing, but yeah, I think it matters.
