Mitt Romney Hits Back Against Obama's Shameless Dishonest Attacks

It's a pretty good interview. I especially like Romney's discussion of the demands to release more tax returns. John McCain released just two years of returns in 2008, and Teresa Heinz Kerry --- one of the wealthiest women in America, worth over $1 billion by some estimates --- released absolutely none in 2004:

RELATED: At Huffington Post, "Mitt Romney Ad Taken Down Over Copyright Claim." Apparently YouTube yanked a Romney ad mocking Obama for singing Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." I smell double standards. See more at U.S. News, "BMG Shuts Down Romney Campaign's Singing Obama Ad."

It's going to be like that all year, with the exception of a few media outlets.

Meanwhile, Team Romney is out with a polling memorandum, "After weeks of negativity from the Obama campaign, the ballot is within the margin of error" (via Memeorandum):

President Obama’s campaign will never have a more substantial advertising advantage than it has had over the past few weeks, yet there is no evidence to suggest that the ballot has moved. If throwing the kitchen sink at Gov. Romney while leveraging a two-to-one ad-spending advantage doesn’t move numbers for the President, that’s got to tell you something about the state of the electorate: Voters are frustrated with President Obama’s failure to keep his promises from the 2008 campaign and don’t truly believe the next four years will be any different from the last three and a half. The Obama campaign’s misleading advertising can’t make up for the failed policies of this Administration.

Okay, that's good, so far as it goes. The bigger problem is that, again, Romney is slow to overturn the left's false narratives, and it shows in the polling data. I'm going to agree with Markos "Screw 'em" Moulitsas (who reviews the battleground polls). With Obama's lame job approval, it's surprising that O's campaign is doing as well as it is (or, Romney really should be doing better, considering the Democrat clusterf-k economy).
