I suppose the Republican gang has cautioned the candidates to cease and desist from throwing mud at Romney. They have already done enough damage by bring the Bain Capital situation to people's attention. Facts like how many people they laid off to make money for themselves (Romney and Co.) And then his use of words like "fire people" is fodder enough for the Obama PACs to pick up and run with. Right now, there is an image of Bain as a group of ruthless people who swooped on ailing companies, bought them for pennies, fired people in order to make them look good, not because the workers were not "good stuff" and then sold to make profits for themselves. And then there will be calls for him to release his tax returns. Then there is the video of his beating around the bush when Perry leveled a charge against him of hiring illegal immigrants and then publicly bashing them during the campaign. Even a significant number of Republicans will find that very repulsive. And just on that issue, the Hispanics will run away from him when they find out that he wants to hire them for his economic benefits and then run them down publicly again for his personal gain but this for political gains. So the issue will be if we would even want to consider a person of this character which is worse that of "I voted for ... before I voted against". It is going to be one interesting Fall 2012.
