Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland hit Mitt Romney on his campaign’s attack strategy, saying he’s the kind of guy you don’t want to meet on the basketball court.

“Governor Romney’s the sort of guy ... that you’d never want to play pickup basketball with,” O’Malley said on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. “He’s always fouling and he’s always crying foul.”

As an example, O’Malley pointed to the Romney team’s aggressive ad campaign that accused President Obama of “gutting” welfare reform, saying that the attack has been proven false.
