Romney ad goes after Obama campaign's attacks

By Catalina Camia, USA TODAY

Mitt Romney is continuing his air war on President Obama's campaign tactics with a new ad that denounces the Democrat's repeated attacks.

Instead of using Hillary Rodham Clinton's words against Obama in 2008 to underscore the point, the latest Romney ad deploys Obama's own words from his acceptance speech in Denver four years ago.

"Because if you don't have any fresh ideas, you use stale tactics to scare voters," Obama said in 2008, as a clip of that speech opens the Romney ad.

The ad titled "What Happened?" is the latest in Romney's effort to punch back at Obama, particularly at Democratic attacks on his job-creation record at Bain Capital.

Romney's tenure at the private equity firm -- and how that plays into a dominant theme of the presidential campaign -- erupted in force again yesterday and sparked a heated war of words between the two campaigns.

Like most of Romney's ads, chances are good that you'll see it on cable TV or on local stations if you live in one of the battleground states.
