The Obama Campaign slime machine takes aim at Rob Portman


Chicago-style politics brought to Washington DC via Barack Obama.
CINCINNATI -
President Barack Obama's Ohio campaign is urging people to tell stories about Rob Portman's "real record," with the Ohio Republican senator believed to be among the leading contenders to become Mitt Romney's running mate.

An appeal circulating this week states that Ohioans should tell what they think Americans "need to know" about Portman. There is a website form for submitting Portman stories. A similar effort is under way by Obama's campaign in Florida. Sen. Marco Rubio is also often cited as a potential VP candidate, and the campaign there asks Floridians to share the "good, bad and ugly" on the senator.

Emails from Obama state director Greg Schultz and online messages to Ohioans about Portman say "If and when Romney does select him, we need to be able to tell the full story about his record." They offer some prompts, saying the former Bush administration official has been part of policies that hurt middle-class families and the U.S. economy.
