What do you see as being the difference?

I can think of a number of high profile cases where politicians have made factually incorrect statements -and- in which I suspect they knew they were doing so. The 'No to AV' campaign in the UK was characterised by factually false statements that seem to have been fabricated rather than due to genuine misunderstanding.

Phil Woolas lost of seat due to a court case about him lying in his election campaign: link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Woolas#Election_court_case)

I've not been following the US presidential election as closely as many here surely are but I'm led to believe that Mitt Romney's campaign is characterised by falsehoods.
