Bain Is The Bane Of The Romney Campaign

The specifics of some Bain operations, and Romney’s relations to that firm, are beginning to generate their own nasty sound bites. Like whether he was an active player at Bain, as filings with the SEC suggest, during a period when that company was firing and outsourcing American workers, or whether he was (as he claims) inactive there in this period and thus not a job-killing perp — a critical distinction since his campaign is largely built on positioning himself as a “job creator.”

What’s true here? False? Half true, half false? Really relevant? And do questions like this actually matter when presidential campaigns can be won or lost based on this likes of swift boat and Willie Horton accusations?

If Obama ultimately manages to overcome the massive conservative Super-PAC avalanche now in the process of gathering steam, and wins a second term, I think it’s pretty clear that Bain will prove the Baine of the Romney campaign. Though in truth, Romney”s religion, which is anathema to many traditional Republican voters, his country club demeanor, his almost comical lack of a common touch, and his super rich guy tax finagling, certainly won’t help either.

5. Clearly the Romney campaign is conflicted and confused on what to do regarding Bain.

There must be some serious dirt that they are hiding or they would be responding in a more forthright way.

This could be a killer issue for them. Bain was Romney's best asset. Now everytime he mentions it, voters will be reminded of this controversy. Its a huge ugly negative now.
