Raucous debaters often strayed from facts

•Cain denied that his tax plan would boost taxes for 84%% of Americans, or fall heavily on those with lower incomes. A new study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center says just that.

•Santorum and Bachmann denounced Cain's 9% "business flat tax" as a European-style "value-added" tax, which Cain also denied. The TPC study agrees with Santorum and Bachmann.

STORY: Debaters rumble in Vegas

•Romney claimed his Massachusetts health care plan "[doesn't] have a government insurance plan" and relies on private insurance. Actually, his plan expanded Medicaid, and relies on that state-federal government program to cover many of the state's previously uninsured.

•Perry and Romney clashed on job creation. Perry was mostly right in claiming Texas saw a greater number of jobs created than Massachusetts. But he was wrong that his state created more jobs in the last two months than Massachusetts did in four years under Romney.

•Romney relied on a disputed study from an anti-immigration group when he said "almost half" the jobs created under Perry were for illegal immigrants. Perry called that "an absolute falsehood." But more neutral estimates support the idea that some portion of the Texas job gains were due to illegal immigration.

•Perry accused Romney of hiring illegal immigrants, to which Romney said, "I don't think I've ever hired an illegal in my life." In fact, there's no evidence that Romney knowingly hired illegal immigrants — but he hired a lawn service that did, and was slow to fire the contractor.

•Santorum and Perry were both off base in claiming that Romney once touted his Massachusetts plan as a model for the nation. He didn't. He said it wasn't necessarily right for all states.

The Oct. 18 debate was held at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. Seven presidential contenders participated: Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, Texas Gov. Rick Perry , former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. (Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman was invited but boycotted the event. He explained that he did so to "to show my solidarity with the Granite State 's first-in-the-nation primary status." New Hampshire political leaders are irked because Nevada moved its presidential caucus date to Jan. 14.
