So politifact put out a scorecard comparing all the statements that they looked at for the 5 candidates:

For fun, I made an excel spreadsheet with percentages out of that:
What I got out of it was that Ron Paul and Obama speak true most of the time, while Santorum and Gingrich not so much. Romney seems to be somewhere in the middle.

Good Day, Serban
Sorry, not buying this. It is all in the questions asked and polled and how they were phrased.
Sincerely
Thomas

Re: Candidates Comparison for fun
Oh, this is not a poll. There were no questions asked.
Basically, that politifact.org website (a non-partisan not for profit website) looks at various controversial statements that politicians say and debunk them or agree with them. So all that page did was show side by side the presidential front runners. So I just turned that into percentages so they can be easily compared and gave my opinion on what I found.
