Fur is flying in all directions over an ad by a superPAC supporting President Obama. In it, a former steelworker claims his wife died because he lost his health insurance as a result of Mitt Romney's former firm. Republicans claim the ad has factual errors. They're also unhappy because a Romney spokeswoman said the problem wouldn't have happened if the couple had lived in Massachusetts, where then Governor Romney signed a law requiring everyone to have health coverage.
