A new Quinnipiac University poll shows Obama and Romney tied among voters in Colorado households earning between $30,000 and $50,000 per year
-- an important target. Obama leads among voters with lower incomes while Romney is favored by those making more. Romney campaigned Wednesday in Iowa, where he drew a standing ovation for promising to repeal "Obamacare," the label Republicans have used to deride Obama's health care law. "That doesn't mean that health care is perfect," Romney said. "We've got to do some reforms in health care. And I have some experiences doing that, as you know." Obama, campaigning in Denver before an audience largely made up of women, said he liked the "Obamacare" tag. "I actually like the name because I do care," he said. "That's why we fought so hard to make it happen." Romney's spokeswoman drew expressions of dismay from some conservatives when she cited Romney's own health care law from his days as governor of Massachusetts in criticizing the steelworker ad. "If people had been in Massachusetts under Gov. Romney's health care plan, they would have had health care," Saul said in an interview on Fox News. Romney himself rarely mentions the law, which contains a requirement to purchase health coverage similar to the one in the federal law that conservatives despise and Romney has vowed to repeal.
