from E.J. Dionne at WaPo:
Once again, Romney showed that his campaign will launch attacks with little regard for their veracity. Unlike President Obama, he said, I will not raise taxes on the middle class. While the definition of the middle class is flexible, Obama has in fact asked Congress to retain current tax rates for families earning less than $250,000 a year.
I will begin my presidency with a jobs tour, Romney also said. President Obama began with an apology tour. There was no apology tour. And Romney suggested that Republicans had been initially eager to work with the president, when in fact the party was determined from the beginning to oppose virtually all of Obamas initiatives.
. . . there will be a jarring contrast between the Romney who spoke of uniting the nation and his exceptionally harsh, relentless and divisive advertising campaign that includes factually-challenged spots on welfare plainly aimed at stirring resentment.
The stark disjunction will inevitably keep alive the question that his convention speech did not answer: Who is the real Romney?
