If Bain is so bad, I assume it would be repugnant to vote for Tim Kaine. Maybe we should ask Tim Kaine why Bain is is fourth largest contributor?

Obama's happy to take their money as well. lmao!
From CNN:
"BASH: The irony: some of the money to pay for this TV ad may have come from inside the very company Team Obama is demonizing in it – Bain Capital. It turns out employees of Bain Capital have given $124,900 in donations to the Obama campaign in this election cycle. And three of those Bain Capital donors – Mark Nunnelly, Steven Pagliuca, and Jonathan Lavine, have given the President's re-election efforts the maximum amount allowed by law, $35,800.
In the case of Lavine, he didn't just write his own check to the President, he's what's called a "bundler," a fundraiser who helps the Obama campaign raise money from others. $125,000 is a lot of money from people who work at a company the Obama campaign and its allies vilify, like in this Super PAC ad."
More hypocrites:
Candidate Bain Capital Donations
John Kerry $76,200
Michael F. Bennet $37,000
Mark Warner $32,700
Tim Kaine (Candidate For US Senate in Virginia) $30,000
Claire McCaskill $22,500
Jeanne Shaheen $17,100
Al Franken $15,000
Jack Reed $15,000
Jim Himes $15,000
Sheldon Whitehouse $11,800
Mark Udall $11,300
Nancy Pelosi $10,000
Joe Kennedy III (Candidate For Mass. District 4) $10,000
Richard Blumenthal $9,600
Christopher S. Murphy $7,500
Andrei Cherny (Candidate For Arizona District 9) $7,500
David Cicilline $5,000
Niki Tsongas $2,500
Total $335,700

It may be the political question of the summer: are Team Obama's attacks on Mitt Romney's business background working?
Priorities USA polling says yes. Other independent polls -- including from Gallup and NBC/WSJ -- show at least some impact.
But Gallup's out with a round of data for USA Today that suggests, whatever the marginal impact of the Bain assault, Romney's businessman brand is more of an asset than anything else, and that in the big picture he's well positioned on the economy:
By more than 2-1, 63%-29%, those surveyed say Romney's background in business, including his tenure at the private equity firm Bain Capital, would cause him to make good decisions, not bad ones, in dealing with the nation's economic problems over the next four years. …

None of the polls like that mean much of anything. They're all shaky to begin with and worded in various ways and/or selectively interpreted to make them say whatever whomever wants.
The only polls worth looking at from about this point forward are the aggregated, non-automated polls of likely voters. Generally, they show not much has changed other than Romney has come up a few points and they'll likely stay about even within a few points. Unless something unforeseen happens, the only meaningful changes will come in the last month of the campaign. Until then it's just a circle jerk.

Republicans can bitch all they want about Democrates rigging the GOP nominee, but republicans and the GOP have nobody to blame but themselves for nominating such a weak candidate.

Oh yeah, I laughed and laughed till my side hurt.
I wonder if the 12.7 million unemployed out there laughed at it.......or were they wondering too why Obama's jobs council hasn't met in 6 months?
