Frum calls Romney's new ad powerful:
Greg Sargent wonders if anyone will challenge Romney on his claim that Obama made the recession worse:
Mitt Romney is holding a press conference on the economy today in Pennsylvania, where he will likely repeat his frequent claim that Obama made the recession “worse.” This claim has been repeatedly debunked by independent fact checkers, who view it as a non-subjective statement that doesn’t hold up when measured by available metrics.
