A lot of political insiders in both parties think Bain Capital is pretty much a dead issue in the 2012 presidential campaign. After all, Mitt Romney has ably defended his work at the private equity firm that made him rich, and a number of top Democrats, ranging from Cory Booker to Ed Rendell to Bill Clinton himself, have defended Bain and companies like it. So there's an emerging consensus that Bain is over as an issue.
Except it's not. Not only do President Obama's strategists still believe Romney's business record will be an effective issue, a new poll by a bipartisan...











Bain has close to an 80 percent success rate in saving businesses and jobs for those employed there.
Many a Bain activity, some very praiseworthy, occurred when Romney was not involved, but the omission of facts is typical of lies easily sailed out by the opposition.
And the one poster child for how evil Bain is, a steel company that was not salvageable, failed when Romney was not at all involved.
If profit was evil, stop breathing. Taking in air is profitable.
