March 14 Propaganda
March 14 effectively lied and fabricated in their campaigns but that is legitimate in elections. The other side did not know how to handle that. For example, according to Ta'if, the Lebanese agreed that the seats in parliament would be split between Christians and Muslims. Suddenly in the campaign, March 14 claimed (or fabricated) that the other side will give Muslims 2/3 of all seats in parliament. No one in the opposition ever said that and the other side spent time and money to deny that they ever said that, but that gave the terms of the debate to March 14. March 14 always throw off the other side.
