CINCINNATI - Mitt Romney is talking today about choices facing American families -- telling a rally in Cincinnati that if President Barack Obama is re-elected, seniors on Medicare will struggle to find doctors, college students will face a huge loan burden, and parents will lose choices about where to educate their children.

Romney is on a day-long swing through three Ohio communities, sharpening his focus on a state that is critical to his hopes of winning the White House.

Polls have shown Obama with a slim lead in the state.

Romney wouldn't answer questions from reporters about whether he would ask Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock to pull an ad featuring Romney.
