The Obama campaign is once again attacking Mitt Romney's past at Bain Capital, this time capitalizing on a Washington Post article on the firm's propensity for sending jobs overseas. "Does Virginia really want an outsourcer-in-chief in the White House?" asks one of three new ads the campaign is running in that swing state, plus Ohio and Iowa.

Each ad is tailored to its state, refuting a positive ad Romney has run there, the Huffington Post notes. The Ohio ad, for instance, targets Romney's assertion that he'll stand up to China. "Romney's never stood up to China," it counters. "All he's ever done is send them our jobs." (More Obama campaign stories.)
