Spokesperson Cites Romneycare

Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul "offered an unusual counterattack to an ad in which a laid-off steelworker blames the presumptive GOP nominee for his family losing health care: If that family had lived in Massachusetts, it would have been covered by the former governor's universal health care law," Politico reports.

Said Saul: "To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney's health care plan, they would have had health care."

Romney himself rarely mentions his health care law because it's "often described as a forerunner to Obama's own health care overhaul, which passed Congress four years later without a single Republican vote."

Sarah Kliff: "That's how things would have worked..under Romneycare. And its how things will work, for the rest of the country in two years from now -- if Obamacare does not get repealed.

Erick Erickson says conservatives have gotten the message: "Consider the scab picked, the wound opened, and the distrust trickling out again."
