    It already is.

    The bane of Bain is hurting Wall St Willard in many states.

    What DOES this guy have to hide?! Sheesh, he's unreal.

    OBVIOUSLY not up to specs to be US Pres.

    .

    The Romney staff spent nearly $100,000 to hide documentation of his admin's record in MA.

    .

    “When Romney left the governorship of MA, 11 of his aides bought the hard drives of their state-issued computers to keep for themselves.

    .

    “Also the governor's staff had emails and other electronic communications by Romney's administration wiped from state servers, state officials say.

    .

    “Those actions erased much of the internal documentation of Romney's four-year tenure as governor, which ended in January 2007. Precisely what information was erased is unclear.”

    .

    Romney's secretive accounts in Bermuda, The Caymen Islands, Switzerland, and "other foreign funds;" they are in 'jurisdictions where there is virtually no tax and virtually no compliance,' as one Miami-based offshore lawyer put it.

    Not even a little bit. Issues like Bain Capital only fire up Obama's base. Whether you like it or not, Romney did create jobs, and independents understand that creating private sector jobs is still a good thing, regardless of partisan politics.

    Relying on Bain Capital will be a losing fight for the Obama Campaign. Obama needs to either attack Romney on social issues or move his stuff out of the White House.

    Yeah,,,that's aggravated the crap out of me, from the get go... Obama using Republican ideas, & people,, putting Republicans in charge of cabinets.. Is Obama ever going to catch on ? Those Republican ideas, & people, are only a good idea, until Obama goes along with the idea, or people... Once Obama agrees, its no longer a good idea...

    Not at all. Even mainstream Democratic politicians are shying away from attacking Romney's Bain experience.
