Mitt Romney's campaign is out with another TV ad, hitting Barack Obama on changes to 1990's welfare reform. It's the third ad the campaign has rolled out (click here and here for the other two) on the issue, which it obviously views as a political winner.
The attack is actually about much more than welfare -- it's a push to portray Obama as a tax-and-spend liberal -- as someone who'll be weaker on both the debt and restoring private sector jobs to the economy.
That could be a fruitful avenue for Romney. Americans are already far more likely to view Obama's politics as "extreme".
(The spot notably includes a clip of an op-ed from the Richmond Times-Dispatch -- a paper in the swing state of Virginia and in the swing area of Richmond).
