Mitt Romney: 2012 Summer Olympics

Romney Dept: It was the third week of July and the Republican presidential candidate was flying across the Atlantic for an international tour designed to make him look like a commander-in-chief. The 2012 Summer Olympics in London were about to start, a global sporting event that campaign aides concluded would minimize media focus on the presidential campaign, according to Vancouver Sun. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES Mitt Romney lost the presidential race in the summer. Back home, Democrats made a different calculation. That week, they aired a blizzard of ads undercutting the narrative of Romney's campaign by turning his strongest credential - his business record - into a liability. While Romney travelled abroad, $1.2 million worth of attack ads played 1,947 times on Ohio stations alone, charging him with shipping companies to China, jobs to India, and his personal wealth to tax havens in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
