Stephanie Cutter: We Never Understood Why Romney Campaign Didn't Push Back On Bain Attacks


I don't understand this contention at all.



Either it's a gimmick to make the President sound like he's the corporation-loving person that he's demonstrated himself to be over the last 4 years (because they aren't THAT naive to think that there was really a defense for the crimes against capitalism committed by Bain that could be possible without opening up the company's dirty laundry basket to intense scrutiny) or...



the President and his campaign were, in fact, so naive as to think that there was a solid defense of Bain's crimes against capitalism possible without exposing all of Bain's dirty laundry to the world.



Since the campaign made much hay with Bain's malignancy, I can't believe it's naivety. So what is there to be gained by uncorking this nonsense? I guess they fear the cliff negotiations are going to provoke the talking heads to position Obama as anti-business so they're going to use silly post-election analyses like this - and invite Bain's leading annual capital gains recipient to the White House for vittles - try to counter it. If so, utter waist of time and effort.... again.
