He had to have a certain amount of political skill just to be able to make something like Bain work as advertised. Companies are full of politics at normal times, and it only gets exacerbated when they are in trouble. Mitt had to be able to walk Bain in there and keep the herds of cats from flying apart.
I wasn’t sure but it sure seemed like this should be Reagan/Carter II. Obama disappointed people and they were just waiting to see Romney be a plausible alternative. The debates provided that unvarnished look.
btw, have people noticed that Obama’s campaign has been to duplicate the Romney campaign and pretend Obama is a free market, middle class loving conservative or at least moderate?
But it’s not believable in Obama, just like Mondale in the tank.
The real unfortunate surprise is Obama should be losing by more.
