Hey remember all that hand wringing about Bain?

[TPW]

I seem to remember the brain trust here wringing their hands over how the Obama team and the DNC were going to destroy Romney because of his tenure at Bain Capital. How they were going to paint him as Richie Rich and an evil business guy ect.

Well, you were right that they were going to try that strategy and it looks to be failing miserably.

CBS: The Bain Attacks aren't working

Instead of cowering Romney is showing it back in O's face

Long way to go until November but it looks like the O's main line of attack on Romney is a loser with the electorate. I expect to see Romney steadily gain ground on O and eventually overtake him and leave him in the dust after the conventions.

Like you, I thought it was a weak line of attack, even back during the Republican primary.

My concern is whether or not Romney is articulate enough or quick enough on his feet to engage one of many powerful come backs that are floating "out there" in conservative business space. The Romney camp's rapid reaction ads, using the words of Democrats against President Obama, was relatively successful. Let's see if he can repeat that quickness on the stump during live performances.

i think if this comes up in the Romney/obama debates, Mitt will destroy him and will eventually show how big a gap there is between them re: business and economics prowess

EXACTLY

Reality and truth is not in the DNC playbook. Obama is out there right now telling all that Repubs are responsible for the run up in Debt under Obamas watch.

Obama is a GREAT liar......he can do it and stare you in the eye while doing so. Romney is going to have to be clear, tough, and quick

Is it just me, or does anyone else find themselves reading all these headlines about Bain in a Rainier Wolfcastle voice?

It was a total failure during the primaries...Romney didn't really have that much trouble winning the nomination, when we look at from hindsight.

Romney actually was a fairly good debator. Obama is fantastic reading prepared remarks...but he isn't all so good as an extemporaneous speaker...lots of aaahs, oohs, stutter, stutter...Bill Clinton on the stump he ain't.

Well...it may or may not be the Bain attacks...but something is working when this miserable failure of a Prez still has the edge over the challenger

Are people really this stupid? God help us


Voters split over who is better equipped to handle the economy

With the economy set to be the defining issue of the presidential election, voters are split over which candidate they believe is better suited to advance their economic interests.

According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Friday, 46 percent said President Obama would do more to advance their economic interests, versus 43 percent who named Mitt Romney.

The 46 % ain't going to vote for Romney as he is going to take my dole away.

The 43 % are voting for Romney because they know they cannot afford to keep paying year after year, for other people's dole.

luckily, the 46% are as likely to be as motivated to vote as they are to work....
