Claim: Pro-Romney forces are looking beyond Michigan, hammering Rick Santorum in four other states with a new TV ad making some misleading claims. The ad claims Mitt Romney turned around Massachusetts' finances without raising taxes, when in fact he raised hundreds of millions in new government "fees" when he was governor. It also rehashes a boast that Romney issued 800 vetoes, but fails to mention that more than 700 were overridden. It attacks former Sen.
