…Romney’s not hard-hitting enough? Check this out: Mitt Romney calls campaign attacks by President Obama and his allies “vituperative” and “vicious” and “absurd” and “sad.” Also: Effective. “I do think that the president’s campaign of personal vilification and demonization probably … Continue reading →
