BOCA RATON — There’s no need to scramble for Democratic prebuttals and rebuttals to Mitt Romney‘s campaign trip to Florida today. Democrats have put together a busload of critics to slam Romney’s proposals and offer home-state counterpoints to new running mate Paul Ryan and Romney’s record as Massachusetts governor.

The “Romney Economics: Middle Class Under The Bus” tour rumbled from Miami Gardens to Palm Beach County today and is heading for Tampa with Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and others aboard.

Stopping here shortly before noon outside the office of Made In USA Certified, a company that verifies business claims that products are made in America, Wasserman Schultz noted that Ryan isn’t with Romney today but popularity-challenged Gov. Rick Scott introduced Romney at a morning event in St. Augustine.

“Both Mitt Romney and his newly announced running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan, have proposed massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires while throwing middle class Americans under the bus. Now, with Florida apparently being a no-fly zone for Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney’s team has finally been forced to turn to Rick Scott, the nation’s most unpopular governor, to introduce him this morning,” Wasserman Schultz said.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — As Mitt Romney makes his way through Florida Monday, some Democrats are voicing their opinions about him and his new running mate. Several members of the DNC going on their own bus tour to deliver their message. One of those stops right here in our area.

“We have a great lineup here with us today to keep Mitt Romney honest, although that is very challenging,” said Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Surrounded by seniors and her Democratic colleagues, South Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz goes on the attack against Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his running mate.
