The really bad outcome was, Newt let this get to him, and he exploded with an almost Olympian wrath, painting himself as someone who was AGAINST venture capitalism. And I don’t think that in his heart, Newt is anything of the kind.
Actually, this is probably the general lines by which the Obama re-election committee meant to attack Romney in the general election, and Romney, bless his heart, has the time and resources to counter these accusations and charges before the Obama Chicago Machine can crank them up against him.
But will Mitt take this opportunity and marshall his arguments supporting his actions while at Bain Capital? Or will he just meekly allow the propaganda surge to stand, and be carried backwards in the flood of invective that will surely issue from the Obama regime, once the gloves are taken off?
The nagging fear is that Romney believes that simply being the nominee is enough to rally all the “Anybody but Obama” sentiment that seethes in this country, and will do the very minimum in support of his own election.
With so many failures and vulnerabilities, Obama should already be unelectable, and so immobilized he cannot serve effectively for the remainder of this term. But do not underestimate the determination and tenacity of cornered ‘Rats. If you don’t go for the kill, the vicious and cunning creatures will fight past you and end up inflicting serious damage in the process.
Mitt had since his defeat to Ted Kennedy in 1994 to find credible solutions to all negative attacks upon Bain Capital while Mitt was there, and, if Mitt can’t, successfully, resolve this by now, then he’s pathetic! Mitt has been running for POTUS, ever since ‘05, and the fact that he only gets a sliver of pro-conservative voters support, now, should be enough of a message for Mitt to stop running. But, Mitt continues to get the majority of support and votes from leftists, moderates, GOP Elitists, and RINO Republicans, combined.
