The story that won't die.

Remember back in the year 2004, rumors abounded online that George W. Bush was wearing a listening device.

Now in 2008, that is one of the accusations being thrown at Mitt Romney.

After Tim Russert asked Romney a question about Reagan, a voice whispered "he raised taxes." And what's more, if you listen closely, the voice seems to go on to say "you're not going to raise taxes."

Mitt Romney, after the whisper, said "I'm not gonna raise taxes."

Who is the whisper?

The political intrigue--and not too many stories within the main stream media over where the whisper came from.

NBC offered a explanation to the haunting 'raised taxes' whisper on their website:

*** UPDATE *** After reviewing the tapes, NBC determined that an open mic picked up a whisper from the audience. It is unclear who it is that says it, but it was not said by any of the candidates, was not heard in the hall and, more importantly, not heard by the candidates

Their reasoning isn't making sense to bloggers and You Tubers across the land. The storyline coming out of the debate from Florida in the MSM: Mitt Romney's best night yet. The story coming from the internet: A mystery voice giving Mitt the answers.

Truth or dare on live TV.


God Bless America.
