Democrats in Tampa: What did Romney build?
Democrats wasted no time on Tuesday trying to undercut Republicans as they began their convention, attacking a key GOP message before party luminaries took the spotlight in Tampa.
Republicans aggressively pushed their convention theme, "We Built It," while Democrats sought to turn it back on Mitt Romney, who was affirmed as the nominee by a roll call of delegates in the first significant moments of the event.

"So as Republicans continue to distort the president's words and push their 'We built that' theme in Tampa," Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said from the "war room" Democrats have set up in downtown Tampa near the convention site. "It's worth asking: What did (Mitt) Romney build?"
Villaraigosa, chair of next week's Democratic convention in Charlotte, answered his own question - "A bank account in Switzerland, investments in Bermuda and the Caymans, and an inexplicably large IRA. That's what he built."
