A lot of political insiders in both parties think Bain Capital is pretty much a dead issue in the 2012 presidential campaign. After all, Mitt Romney has ably defended his work at the private equity firm that made him rich, and a number of top Democrats, ranging from Cory Booker to Ed Rendell to Bill Clinton himself, have defended Bain and companies like it. So there’s an emerging consensus that Bain is over as an issue.
Except it’s not. Not only do President Obama’s strategists still believe Romney’s business record will be an effective issue, a new poll by a bipartisan firm suggests attacks on Romney’s past might play well in some key swing states this fall.
Purple Strategies is a political consulting firm that includes Republican strategist Alex Castellanos and Democratic strategist Steve McMahon.

Let the Debates begin…. I want one at the same frequecy as the republican debates. Show them on MSNBC more so we can see how the biased commentators go after Romney and candy coat Obama. When the public witnesses these atrocities then do the polling.
Let the idiots advise their boss to harp on Bain Capital and watch what happens. Only an idiot would listen to Obama. Bain Capital is really a Romney success. Romney was gone for 2 plus years before a problem arose. He cannot be blamed for that. Only the welfare professionals, those who have made a career of slurping at the public trough would be so obtuse as to think Romney could be faulted with Bain.
