The Romney surrogate Sunday said he "wouldn't want to risk" trying to win without having the GOP nominee carry the state.

“The battleground states which had been focused on are not working out for them,” Axelrod said Sunday.

The Romney campaign counters that Obama’s early-vote advantages in 2012 are smaller than in 2008.

The environmental group League of Conservation Voters is up with a new ad featuring footage of Hurricane Sandy to attack Mitt Romney for his stance on climate change.

President Obama kicked off the final weekend of his reelection campaign at a rally in Ohio, where he continued to slam Mitt Romney for claiming Jeep was sending jobs to China.

At the first of his four campaign rallies Saturday, Obama said that Romney was not offering “real change,” and accused Romney of running misleading attacks with his campaign’s Jeep ads.

“Changing the facts when they’re inconvenient to your campaign, that’s definitely not change,” Obama said at the rally in Mentor, Ohio. “But that’s what Gov. Romney’s been doing these last few weeks right here in Ohio.”

President Obama leads Mitt Romney by six points in Michigan, according to a poll from Public Policy Polling.

The Obama campaign Saturday defended the president's remark that voting is “the best revenge,” which has come under attack by the Romney campaign.

Psaki said the ad was an attempt at “frightening workers in Ohio into thinking, falsely, that they’re not going to have a job.”
