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.
“I really feel he didn’t care about the worker,†said the employee, Randy Johnson, who was flown in for the news conference by the Democratic National Committee. “It was all about profit before people.â€
His appearance was a preview of a Democratic general election strategy – attacking Mr. Romney’s time as a wealthy buyout specialist — that will no doubt be used repeatedly if he becomes the Republican nominee.
“I think he is out of touch with the average person,†Mr. Johnson said.
