Democrats Descend on Iowa to Hit Romney
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/democrats-descend-on-iowa-to-hit-romney/Mitt Romney is fighting to be the top choice of Republicans here in Iowa, but he’s already the top target for Democrats.
On Sunday night, just as polling showed Mr. Romney leading the GOP field along with Ron Paul, Democratic Party operatives descended on Iowa to set up an anti-Romney war room at a hotel in downtown Des Moines. There, they introduced a worker laid off in the early 1990s when his Indiana employer was bought by Mr. Romney’s private equity firm, Bain Capital.

Mr. Johnson suggested he would retell the story of his layoff across Iowa and anywhere else where Mr. Romney campaigned for president.
“I have asked the D.N.C. to help me figure out where to go,” he said.
