THE HILL: Romney campaign keeping debate over Medicare on center stage. “It’s supposed to be the Democrats’ signature issue, but Medicare has risen to the forefront of this year’s presidential race largely because Mitt Romney’s campaign has put it there. On the Sunday political shows, surrogates for the GOP presidential hopeful amplified their attacks on President Obama’s Medicare plans, saying the Democrats’ reforms will gut the popular seniors program leaving it up to Republicans to save it.”

It’s part of the Romney/Ryan campaign’s shocking new math offensive.
