Romney fundraises in Philly burbs

Published by Tim McNulty on .

Mitt Romney is in suburban Philadelphia for a fundraiser tonight (co-starring former Gov. Tom Ridge and GOP honcho Bob Asher), on the same day the Obama camp has released an attack ad in Ohio and elsewhere hitting Romney for supporting "companies that ship jobs overseas." It ends with: "It's just what you'd expect from a guy who had a Swiss bank account."

Reponded the Romney campaign:

"President Obama is trying to distract Americans from the real issues with a series of sideshows. Unable to defend his failed record of 23 million Americans struggling for work, wasteful boondoggles like Solyndra, skyrocketing national debt, and unacceptably high energy prices, President Obama has once again resorted to attacking Mitt Romney. The American people have suffered enough over the last three years and deserve better."

Ad script after the jump:

President Obama's clean energy initiatives have helped create jobs for projects across AMERICA, not overseas. What about Mitt Romney? As a corporate CEO, he shipped American jobs to places like Mexico and China. As governor, he outsourced state jobs to a call center in India. He's still pushing tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. It's just what you'd expect from a guy who had a Swiss bank account.
