Romney launches anti-Perry site

Published October 18, 2011 4:00am ET



Mitt Romney unleashes careerpolitician.com this morning, a website dedicated to attacking Rick Perry.

An introduction video on the site, attacks Perry for the highest unemployment rate in Texas since 1987 and one million unemployed Texans. The video also cites a Byron York blogpost on a study that found half of new jobs in Texas over the last four years went to illegal immigrants.

“Sound familiar?” reads the ad, comparing Perry to President Obama.

Romney isn’t letting up on Perry, despite the latter’s precipitous fall in the polls and the ascendancy of Herman Cain. Perhaps he views Perry and his $15 million war chest as the greater threat.
