It’s called “bracketing,” and it refers to the practice of a political campaign sending staff, staging events, and making news at the campaign appearances of rival candidates. And today, in another sign that it intends to run an aggressive media campaign in the general election, the Romney camp launched its first bracketing operation aimed at Vice President Joe Biden.

Biden traveled to Exeter, New Hampshire for a speech at the Town Hall denouncing Romney’s economic plan and promoting the Buffett Rule.  And what did Biden find outside Town Hall?  The Romney campaign bus.  “The bus is doing some laps around the venue,” said Romney spokesman Ryan Williams in a call from Exeter.  “We’re going to run an aggressive campaign that will highlight the failures of this administration in every city and state that we possibly can.”
