Do Bain SEC documents suggest Mitt Romney is a criminal?  No.  Silly question.
Do Bain SEC documents suggest Mitt Romney is an under-the-table, no-good, shady-ass Richie Rich that likes to play shell games with his money with a public relations problem his campaign can't seem to get out from under?  Yes.  But we knew that already.

Eh, no they don't.  And I don't see any evidence that the Obama campaign's misguided attacks are having much of an effect in voters' minds.

Of course you don't; your mind is thicker than VonMoltke's bed frame supports.  Quinnipiac, Pew and Rasmussen are saying otherwise.

I hope President Romney outsources your entire family straight out of Dumbfuckistan.

I don't see much change in those, other than the normal weekly ebb & flow.  If Obama were doing as well (and Romney doing as poorly) as you seem to think, it'd be about 65 to 35 in Obama's favor.

I'm not even sure what that means.

There are plenty of other things you could poke at Romney about... like things he actually had something to do with, for example. :sleep:

Have you noticed that the deeper we get into the campaign, the more Seedy sounds like bmollsen?

I've not followed this thing enough to comment on the substance, but I've two superficial thoughts.

It seems the story is very much being dictated by the Obama campaign. So far it feels like Romney's failed to cobble together or to articulate a strong defence, or to communicate his perspective.

Also Romney should never, ever have asked for an apology. He's in politics, running for President. Weak, weak, weak.

Also I suspect, though may be wrong, that this story could gain traction in defining Romney especially in Mid-Western swing states.

Is that like the 350k a year job Michelle Obama had at UChicago that magically was created for her and disappeared after she left?

Nope. $350k is peanuts compared to Mittens profiteering.

Well, he did do the evening news interview circuit tonight.  To his credit, he only used "I don't recall" a few times.

QuoteAlso Romney should never, ever have asked for an apology. He's in politics, running for President. Weak, weak, weak.

Yeah, everybody's a big meanie to him.  For a campaign that survived that pit bull fight of a primary, they sure seem lost playing defense.

QuoteAlso I suspect, though may be wrong, that this story could gain traction in defining Romney especially in Mid-Western swing states.

Doubtful.  I don't think midwesterners pay much attention to the news, other than there's a black dude in Der Weiss Haus.
