With both the White House and the presumptive Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, recognizing the importance of the economy in next Fall's election, Chris Stirewalt's Power Play suggested that Obama Democrats will do anything they can to distract the country's attention from the current slumping economic situation.

Power Play added the left wanted voters to be convinced that Romney was hiding a secret, had possessed radical tendencies that could be dangerous to the country.

As a guest on Stirewalt's "Power Play" online show on Monday, Democratic pollster Doug Schoen charged Democrats were trying to paint Romney as "severely conservative."
