"So, tell us, WHERE did Romney have his money invested from 1999 to 2002?"

Not important. That's not the question. As long as he had no control or influence over operations at Bain, this is a non-issue.

That having been said, Romney's team needs to get on top of this immediately and quash the story with facts before it becomes bigger than it deserves. He needs to give a presser and take the question from the newsies. Luckily for him, we are still far enough from the elections that this, properly handled, will just be a bump in the road.

There is, of course, a sort of moral standard that says it doesn't really matter where you invested your money as long as you weren't making the decisions.

Then, there's real morality that says you are what you buy and you can't escape that.

So, it's really, really, really important to now where Mitt put his money. It is remarkably unimportant how he managed it ~ whether from afar, negligently, or with minute by minute interest.

Ownership is a continuum.

Ownership is CONTROL and INFLUENCE. Romney and his senior MIttbots have to quit futzing around the periphery with this BS about "he didn't exercise' and just tell us where his money was.

We can take it from there.

Failure to address that question is what is hurting him.
