If you needed any more proof that Mitt Romney is already looking past the primaries and towards the general election, look no further than his campaign stop in Ohio yesterday. Romney visited a Republican Party phone bank in the suburbs of Cincinnati that was making calls in support of Issue 2, a referendum placed on the ballot by the AFL-CIO to repeal a set of government union reforms signed into law by Gov. John Kasich earlier this year. A vote for the referendum is a vote to keep the law.

The Ohio Chamber of Commerce, the Columbus Dispatch, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Tim Pawlenty, and multiple mayors have all backed Kasich’s law, which was passed at the height of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s fight against government unions. This is a common sense, good government law all conservatives support. But Romney refused to endorse it. “I am not speaking about the particular ballot issues. Those are up to the people of Ohio,” Romney told CNN‘s Peter Hamby.
