(AP Photo)WASHINGTON (AP) - Don't expect Mitt Romney to spend a lot of time trying to get voters to like him this fall.
Instead, the likely Republican presidential nominee will probably rely on a ton of campaign cash and a barrage of nasty attack ads ripping into President Barack Obama for policies that Romney says aren't helping the economy recover fast enough. Look for Romney to take a more moderate tack, too.
That's essentially the playbook Romney followed in his last campaign against a Democrat, when he was elected Massachusetts governor in 2002.
Romney has already relied heavily on key elements of that winning strategy -- the biting attack ads, the imposing fundraising advantage -- to pound his GOP presidential rivals. There's little to suggest he won't return to that strategy against Obama.
