Team Romney wasted no time picking up Newark Mayor Corey Booker's Sunday fumble on Meet the Press and running it in for a score. The campaign has posted a new video titled "Big Bain Backfire" featuring Booker, former-Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn., and former-Obama auto czar Steve Rattner all criticizing Obama for attacking Romney over Bain Capital.

Read the full script of the ad below:
