Mitt Romney introduced himself to voters at the debate — with a falsehood about himself.

Responding to Wolf Blitzer’s own self-introduction — in which Wolf said “and yes, that is my real name” — Romney began: “I’m Mitt Romney — and yes Wolf, that’s also my first name.”

Romney’s first name is “Willard,” and “Mitt” is his middle name.
