Behind the Ad: "Tricky Mitt"
Who: MoveOn.org.
Where: Ohio.
What's going on: MoveOn.org is a liberal grassroots organization, and if Mitt Romney thinks his campaign is going to start "taking the gloves off," they may have to wait in line. CBS has called this ad, "Tricky Mitt," one of the harshest of the season, and they may have a point given that Mitt Romney is compared to Richard Nixon.
About the comparison to Nixon, Digital Journal writes that "it plays into the Democrats' larger narrative that Romney is a dishonest politician who may be lying about his business record or hiding information about his taxes."
Yes, that would be the larger narrative.
