Mitt Romney blasted President Barack Obama over the weekend for running a “vituperative” campaign, sending millions of Americans to their favorite search engine and/or the “V” section of their dictionary.
The word showed up during an interview Romney gave to USA TODAY’s Susan Page in Powell, Ohio:
Mitt Romney calls campaign attacks by President Obama and his allies “vituperative” and “vicious” and “absurd” and “sad.” Also: Effective.
“I do think that the president’s campaign of personal vilification and demonization probably draws some people away from me,” Romney says when asked why he’s no better than tied against a vulnerable incumbent.
“Vituperative” does not come up very often during conversation in middle America, so we looked it up.
