The lamest week of the 2012 campaign

From the Morning Fix:

It’s official: The 2012 presidential campaign has hit rock bottom.

In the course of the last week, the following things have occurred:

[list type="arrow"] [li]* Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes in a decade, but refused to name his source.

* President Obama referred to the Republican presidential nominee as “Romney Hood” because he allegedly robs from the poor to give to the rich.

* Romney dubbed Obama’s alleged exaggerations about his record as “Obama-loney.”

* A Democratic super PAC ran an ad that not-so-subtly suggested that Romney’s actions led to the death of a woman.

* The Romney campaign released an ad accusing Obama of working to “gut” welfare reform, a claim that independent fact-checkers found highly questionable.
