*** Here comes Medicare: The past few weeks on the presidential campaign trail have featured aggressive attacks and counterattacks. On outsourcing by Bain Capital. On Mitt Romneys post-1999 association with that firm, as well has his tax returns. On charges of crony capitalism in the Obama administration. And on President Obamas views about business. And today when Obama begins a two-day swing through the crucial state of Florida -- with all of its seniors -- hell introduce another attack: hitting Romney on Medicare and the Ryan budget. Per the campaign, the president will discuss his commitment to strengthening Medicare, and a new report tomorrow that highlights the devastating impact Mitt Romney's Medicare plan could have on the 3.4 million Floridians that rely on Medicare. Bottom line, per the campaigns guidance: Obama will argue that Romney -- through his support for the Ryan budget plan -- advocates ending Medicare as we know it. Obama starts his Florida swing with a 1:25 pm ET event in Jacksonville, and then he heads to West Palm Beach at 6:20 pm. Tomorrow in the Sunshine State, he hits Ft. Myers and Winter Park.

Keeping on the offensive is the perfect way to run this. His likability is so much higher than Rmoney that he can attack without looking bad while Mitt just whines and sounds like a Teabagger.
