Romney Focuses On Obama In Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE (CBS13) — Mitt Romney took aim at President Barack Obama in suburban Milwaukee on Sunday.
"He doesn't know what is going on in this country and he doesn't know what the future looks like," said Romney.
The former Massachusetts governor says the president is too comfortable with trillion dollar deficits that could sink the U.S. economy.
But Romney must first win his party's nomination before taking on the president. He leads rival Rick Santorum in the Wisconsin polls and in the overall delegate count.
The former Pennsylvania senator is vowing to stay in the race even if he loses Tuesday's Wisconsin primary.

"Less than half the delegates have been selected. We have a long way to go; we are going to fight the fight," said Santorum.
But there is a growing call within the Republican Party for Santorum to end his campaign. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, from Kentucky, says the time has come to focus on the general election.
"I think it's absolutely apparent that it's in the best interests of our party, at this particular point, to get behind the person who is obviously going to be our nominee," said McConnell.
Vice President Joe Biden is expecting Romney to win the GOP nomination, but believes that Romney is out of touch with voters.
"I can't remember a presidential candidate in the recent past who seems not to understand, by what he says, what ordinary middle class people are thinking about and are concerned about," said Biden.
A new poll shows the president's job approval rating is over 50 percent for the first time since June, but many Americans are still worried about rising gas prices.
