Who Was Lying? Voice Analysis On The Debates

— -- Leave it to the Web to find a way to separate fact from fiction at the presidential debates. A startup called RealScoop says it's developed an online voice analysis system that can tell the difference between a truth and a lie -- and it has some news about the candidates' on-camera clashes.

First, how it works: RealScoop says it uses the "world's leading voice analysis technology" to break down more than a hundred vocal elements at 1,000 calculations per second. Its founders say their system is based on the same technology used by intelligence gathering agencies and criminal investigators. Think it works?

Here are some of the statements RealScoop says might be iffy, from Wednesday's debate and ones past. Weigh the facts and decide for yourself.

The Democrats

• October 15: Barack Obama, RealScoop says, was not believable when he claimed his campaign had no involvement with ACORN.
• October 2: Joe Biden, RealScoop says, was not believable when he talked about his campaign's plan for a troop withdrawal from Iraq.
• September 26: Barack Obama, RealScoop says, was not believable when he talked about the idea of negotiations with Iran, nor when he referenced Henry Kissinger.

The Republicans

• October 15: John McCain, RealScoop says, was not believable when he stated how hurt he was by John Lewis's statements, nor when he stated that ACORN threatens to "destroy the fabric of democracy."
• October 7: John McCain, RealScoop says, was not believable when he said Obama had encouraged Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make bad loans.
• October 2: Sarah Palin, RealScoop says, was not believable when she said Obama does not favor funding the troops.

So is this the real deal? It may not be November 4, but you can cast your vote on this one right now. Leave a comment and let us know what you think.
