New poll from Rasmussen shows Romney up by 2 in Ohio. That nudges Ohio just barely back into Toss Up territory on the TPM Electoral Scoreboard.
Bill Clinton is out pushing the message that Mitt Romney is planning to steal the credit for Obama’s economic recovery. And I confess I’ve worried about this myself. All signs point to positive signs in the economy and a real recovery underway now which will likely bear fruit in the early months of next year. If Romney manages to slip through, he’ll take credit for that and be further empowered in his rightwing agenda by a buoyant economy. It’s a frightening and infuriating thought to consider on many levels.
Mitt Romney’s new Jeep ad is such a fabrication that even a lot of reporters who are usually timid about calling candidates out for falsehoods are finally making a fuss.

The Romney camp has been openly teling reporters for months — off the record — that they don’t really care if reporters and pundits say they’re ads aren’t true. They’ll just make it up with bigger ad spends. At the moment, most reporters still seem uncomfortable reporting the scale of Romney’s dishonesty with his new ad.
