Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney addresses an audience during a campaign
stop on the campus of Lawrence University, in Appleton, Wis on Friday.
Democrats sharpen attacks as
GOP rallies around Romney
Obama launches
assault on foreign
policy credentials
MILWAUKEE (AP) -
President Barack Obama's
administration launched a
multi-pronged assault on Mitt
Romney's values and foreign
policy credentials yesterday,
while a fresh set of prominent
Republicans rallied behind the
GOP front-runner as the odds-
on nominee, further signs the
general election is overtaking
the primary season.
A defiant Rick Santorum out-
lined plans to leave Wisconsin
the day before the state's con-
test Tuesday, an indication that
the conservative favorite may
be in retreat, his chances to stop
Romney rapidly dwindling.
"I think the chances are over-
whelmingthat (Romney) will be
our nominee," Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell said
Sunday on CNN's "State of the
Union." "It seems to me we're
in the final phases of wrapping
up this nomination. And most
of the members of the Sen-
.
ate Republican conference are
either supporting him, or they
have the view that I do, that it's
time to turn our attention to the
fall campaign and begin to make
the case against the president of
the United States."
Both Secretary of State Hill-
ary Clinton and Vice President
Joe Biden went after Rom-
ney Sunday, underscoring the
belief inside Obama's Chicago
re-election headquarters that
Romney will - sooner than later
- secure the right to face Obama
this fall. Romney largely agreed,
telling a Madison, Wis., crowd
last night that the nominee "will
probably be me."
The Obama officials' involve-
ment comes as both sides
sharpen their general election
strategy, perhaps weeks before
the GOP contest formally comes
to an end.
"I think Gov. Romney's a
little out of touch," Biden told
CBS' "Face the Nation" in an
interview broadcast Sunday. "I
can't remember a presidential
candidate in the recent past
who seems not to understand,
by what he says, what ordinary
middle-class people are think-
ing about and are concerned
about."
The line of attack is likely to
play prominently in the Obama
campaign's general election
narrative. While Obama is a
millionaire, Romney would be
among the nation's wealthiest
presidents ever elected. And
he's opened himself to criticism
through a series of missteps.
Romney casually bet a rival
$10,000 during a presidential
debate, noted that his wife drives
a "couple of Cadillacs," and lists
owners of professional sports
teams amonghis friends. His per-
sonal tax records show invest-
ments in the Cayman Islands and
a Swiss bank account.
Obama's team yesterday also
seized on Romney's foreign pol-
icy inexperience.
Biden said Obama was "stat-
ing the obvious" when he told
Russian President Dmitry Med-
vedev that he would have more
latitude on missile defense after
the November general election.
The two presidents did not real- 0
ize the exchange, during a meet-
ing in Seoul, South Korea, last
weekend, was being picked up
by a microphone.
