Rove summarized President Obama’s attacks on Romney thus: “My opponent is a weird, rich, vampire capitalist who cannot be trusted anywhere near anything that has to do with your pocketbook because he’ll steal your money and send it to a Swiss bank account.”
Perhaps only former Republican National Committee Chairman and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour can compete with such a glib characterization of Romney.
Americans have “been told a bunch of terrible things about [Romney], that he doesn’t care about people like you, that he ships jobs to China, that he’s a wealthy plutocrat married to a known equestrian,” Mr. Barbour said at a briefing on Monday.
