Just Added - TPaw - Romney's Bus Tour Turns Into VP Tryout Extravaganza- Mitt Romney's five-day, six-state bus tour is shaping out to be a series of auditions for potential vice presidential candidates. http://abcn.ws/K5Akrk (Emily Friedman)

The Ohio Reset Button - In Ohio, Romney held and campaign event. Obama gave what sounded to Mary Bruce like a State of the Union address.

It wasn't really the showdown we had expected.

Romney continued to say the president has ruined the economy. "Talk is cheap!" Obama continued to say he's cleaning up Republicans' mess.

The reframing of the race and the president's economic message took 54 minutes and included most of the talking points he's been using already. There was some soaring rhetoric, like when he told voters only they can end the stalemate in Washington.

But the most interesting part came when he accurately summarized the race for the next few months. Money, TV ads, demonizing. That sounds about right. He didn't mention it'd be that way on both sides. http://abcn.ws/LXLwYp

Obama: This November is your chance to render a verdict on the debate over how to grow the economy, how to create good jobs, how to pay down our deficit. Your vote will finally determine the path that we take as a nation not just tomorrow, but for years to come. When you strip everything else away, that's really what this election is about. That's what is at stake right now. Everything else is just noise. Everything else is just a distraction. From now until then, both sides will spend tons of money on TV commercials. The other side will spend over a billion dollars on ads that tell you the economy is bad, that it's all my fault - (laughter) - that I can't fix it because I think government is always the answer, or because I didn't make a lot money in the private sector and don't understand it, or because I'm in over my head, or because I think everything and everybody is doing just fine. http://abcn.ws/K610rL

Romney: I happen to believe the principles that made the powerhouse we economically are have been eroded by this president. I think he's made it harder for small business people to open their doors, for entrepreneurs to build businesses, for companies like this to know that their products won't be stolen by competitors overseas. I think he's made it harder for the American enterprise system to work and I want to change that. I want to make it once again, America once again the most attractive place in the world for job creators and it's not just because I love job creators it's because I love jobs. http://abcn.ws/LOkUNk
