Has Santorum said more blatantly false things than any other recent candidate?

While I think Santorum's lies (let's call them what they are) are typically more shocking (10% of the Dutch elderly are put down and they all go around with wristbands saying 'Do Not Euthanize'), Mitt Romney has done nothing but lie and lie throughout this campaign. His lies are more subtle and don't stick out nearly as much but are higher in quantity.

I would hypothesize that we're simply seeing the strategy that Rick Santorum used for so many years so successfully. Even in 2006, information didn't flow like it does today. It makes sense that the way he was able to win independents in his state was being able to use fear-mongering and lies on a variety of subjects as he campaigned from town to town. It's obviously his strong suit, but he gets exposed far more often now with the amount of social networking, media coverage and technological wonder.
