Did you see how the D.C. Establishment has denounced attacks on Romney’s record at Bain Capital? It proves that the attacks are working. If Romney loses the South Carolina primary, it gives us a chance to regroup.
The party establishment is hardly alone, Rush Limbaugh and numerous freepers agree this avenue of attack is wrongheaded, because it is.
I can be realpolitik about it, if it actually works towards defeating Romney then yay, it would serve him right after he claimed to have been a “job creator”. But it’s already backfired to a great extent.
