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. A
