OFA Statement on Romney’s new ad:

o  “If Mitt Romney wants to take politics out of the gutter, he might want to start with his own campaign ads. Independent news organizations, President Clinton, and a Republican author of welfare reform have already called these attacks blatantly dishonest, but Romney’s campaign continues to run with them….Mitt Romney may think his only path to victory is through running dishonest ads like this one, but the American people deserve better.”—Lis Smith, campaign spokeswoman
