I personally think that Booker's blunder will turn into an eventual positive.
Here's the thing.
You can spin Bain as a job creator---... but ultimately the truth will win out and the Vulture Capital creatures will be exposed.
You can spin shit but at the end of the day----it's still shit.

(13,305 posts)His private industry business experience is all he has. He wants to stay as far away from his time as MA Governer lest his fairly liberal record get too much press.
Yet he can't declare Bain off limits for Obama and then tout it as a campaign selling point.
On second though he can do exactly that because all that's needed for him to run on such a blatantly hypocritical platform of making something off limits at the same time he makes it a selling point is a complicit, lazy media and Dems willing to go along with it which as we've seen since Sunday there will be no shortage of on either count.
What else can the man run on? He sure as hell doesn't want to have to talk about his religion, way to many on the religious right already think he belongs to a cult, if he has to start defending his religious beliefs, he is toast. Like you said, he can't run on his time as governor, that would also me a tough one to defend. How he will defend his time at Bain destroying companies so he can his buddies could rake in millions while worker were laid off and jobs were sent overseas is not going to work either.
It has to be hard as hell for Romney to find "anything" he can talk about that makes him look good! All he can do is whine and cry about the president "picking on him", and that won't help him either!

(53,410 posts)Yesterday when he calmly explained why Bain is totally relevant to the campaign issues. He's not giving up on hammering the facts home. I think people are finding out you really don't want to be an adversary of Obama. He's relentless when he sets his mind to it. Just ask the terrorists in the Middle East, or the pirates in Somalia, or Bin Laden.
