Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter (D) attacked Mitt Romney for misrepresenting his own policies during the first presidential debate, in an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday. “We recall that he is the Etch-a-Sketch guy,” Nutter said. 

“It’s relatively easy for Mr. Romney, who had an 11th-hour conversation,” Nutter said. “If you just lay out lie after lie after lie about your own plan as well as what the president has been talking about, of course you can look good.”

Nutter continued: “I mean, Mitt Romney is a guy, I’ve never seen this before, he’s been on two different sides of his own plan, which of course he won’t explain. So he can have multiple positions about something that doesn’t exist.”
