[Bain Capital] is not a distraction, this is what this campaign is gonna be about.
Meanwhile, back at campaign headquarters, Team Obama is in full meltdown mode after Newark Mayor Cory Booker went off script, undermining and mocking "what this campaign is going to be about."
ABC News:
The Obama campaign is in full damage-control mode one day after Newark Mayor Cory Booker publicly derided Democrats’ assault on presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney over his record at Bain Capital.
Chief Obama strategist David Axelrod today publicly rebuked Booker, a popular and high-profile surrogate for the campaign, saying he was “just wrong.”
“I love Cory Booker. He’s a great mayor. If I were, if my house was on fire, I’d hope he were my next door neighbor,” Axelrod said on MSNBC, referring to Booker’s rescue of a neighbor last month.
“I agree with what he said later. I think this was a legitimate area for discussion,” Axelrod said of Booker’s subsequent comments clarifying the issue.
But Booker isn't the only Democrat already tired and made uncomfortable by Obama's divisive attacks on the risk-takers who create the jobs and this country's wealth. Below you'll see an ad the Romney campaign released today with more Democrats going "off-script" on the subject of Bain -- an ad that not only proves Romney already has a rapid response team up and running but that it's a very effective rapid response team.

AxleShaft steps in his own Bull....
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Like I said, there is always room under Obama’s big green bus for one or two more!
Obama received $58,270 from Bain Capital employees in the 2008 election
Axlrod thinks he can rebuke and correct the “help”
but they aren’t going to forget this. He is not
one of them.

Axelrod is a &ick head and a one trick pony but he has got absolutely nothing to work with.
Pretty damn funny.
Apparently some Lib ran it at that time.
This Romney rapid-response bunch is impressing me more day by day. I just hope they keep it up...
You’d think that Rush and Drudge would be spreading THAT info!
When the ‘08 campaign had just begun McCain’s people had put together some funny and biting web ads that satirized Obama’s narcissism. The Obama people actually complained, McCain said hey we’re having some fun and then the ads stopped. They were effective, but McCain was more interested in seeing history made. Romney, it appears, is quite willing to go after Obama and skewer his campaign’s premises and deflect its attacks back on Obama. They’re fast to respond and they hit the target, mostly dead center. If they don’t follow the example of Murphy and McCain this could be very entertaining.
I probably should have said Romney and the RNC.
Bet you will hear it tomorrow :)
you know you’re lame if Mitt Romney makes you look stupid.
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that people aren’t falling for the bull anymore. If this keeps up, and Obama tries some kind of magic trick in October, he may lose in a rout!
For those expecting a John McCain-style “lie down” from the Romney campaign this election year, you might be in for a pleasant surprise. The Romney campaign seems prepared to hit back and hit back hard.
Anyone else find it interesting and instructive that Axelrod's analogy about the next-door neighbor was something destructive? These liberal/socialists/fascists first instinct is to destroy.
Think so? Did you send it to them?
Probably not on Rush, that vapid Mark Davis is doing his show.
Isn’t Booker the mayor who stopped his entouage to run into a burning house to save a family while he was on his way to work?
I would have loved to been a fly on the wall of the wood shed when Barry’s gestapo made Booker an offer he couldn’t refuse.
How many service men and women will be dumped on a terrible job market.
How many NASA people.
How may oil rig workers in LA.
How many that could have found a job building the Keystone pipeline.
The list is a long one, too long for me tonight.
But many many more than Bain Capital let go.
By the way, you do know that Romney was running the Olympics at the time obummer blames him for closing that steel mill.
And an obummer contributor was actually the person who closed it.
LLS
You bring in contrary facts at your peril.
(Tagline update, which I hope makes me zot-proof.)
Axelrod has demonstrated several times that he can find hookers and wannabe hookers. He has yet to figure out what might be relevant in a campaign where his boss has destroyed the global economy.
He's that weak.
Obama intends to spew anything at him that sounds like he's a bad dude.
It'll probably work ~~ against Romney.
The guy has to come up with something for us ~ today ~ not pie in the sky.
So far he has failed to make the slightest effort to make a deal ~ pretty stupid of a guy with 22% party support.
“Anyone else find it interesting and instructive that Axelrod’s analogy about the next-door neighbor was something destructive?”
The reference was to a real incident a month or two ago when Booker was awakened by a fire next door and rescued his neighbor. True story.
All I can wish for at this juncture is that Obama is defeated and we put enough conservatives in Congress to take over the senate and increase substantially our majority in the House. By this method, we will drive Romney to the right and make the best of a less than ideal situation (with regard to the presidency).
Axelhead is finding it rougher going this time with people asking questions and not just worshiping.
I’m right there with you. Romney sucks a$$. Better to re-elect Obama.
But, he does suck.
If you want to know what i think it's that you don't have any imagination at all.
Romney has found his running mate!
He didn't get rich doing stuff ~ more like simply being the face man.
QWell it’s one or the other and Romney sucks.
"Hey! This is a prissy-faced-middle-aged-white-dude-MORMON. We're supposed to be kicking his butt here! It says so right in the script!"
That Mitt might have his own script is apparently not something they considered.
The funny thing is that we are surprised at all. I mean, come on, they way Mitt took out his competition -- of course with MSM help -- should have given us some clues about how he fights. Of course, we also thought he would be as stupid as McCain was and depend on the MSM to stay buddies with him after he tied up the nomination.
Apparently, Mitt is not subject to the same sort of wishful thinking.
I didn't want him to be the nominee, I was hoping for a genuine Conservative, I still don't like him....
But I am starting to dislike him a bit less these days.
At least I am.
I will say this: If things keep going the way they're going, January 21 we will be saying either "President Obama " or "President Romney". I see no third way other than in my dreams.
Rand saw where liberalism was taking us.

Nor do I. But I believe there is one very important difference between McCain and Romney. McCain wanted to be the GOP nominee for President.
Romney wants to be President. But I am starting to dislike him a bit less these days.
I am no fan of Romney, but I’d love to see his campaign rip the heart out of the beast. We need someone to fight for the very survival of this country. I don’t have great faith in his convictions if he’s elected however. I just can’t imagine him fighting Congress after the election.
