DNC slams Romney over Ohio labor issue in Web ad
{mosads}“What’s Mitt’s position? He can’t take one. He’s running for office, for Pete’s sake,” the new ad reads, a play on something Romney said in the last GOP debate.
“I’m running for office, for Pete’s sake, I can’t have illegals,” Romney said he told a lawn company working for him that had hired undocumented workers.
Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod called it a “revealing moment,” and the DNC has sought to capitalize on the line.
“Not that it was wrong or not that it was illegal, [but that] ‘I’m running for office,’” Axelrod said last week of Romney’s statement about illegals.
The ad is part of the DNC’s ongoing anti-Romney “Which Mitt” campaign. Similarly, Perry on Wednesday urged his Twitter followers to use the hashtag #flipflopmitt.
