How long after Rmoney DOESN'T adequtely answer the questions about Bain...

will his campaign start saying "Old News", "Asked and answered" and "Let's move on to the real issues"?
I give it the beginning of next week.

Remember GWH Bush and Iran Contra. Never answered and outside of rather, the media never pursued it.

I can't see this one going away. We sent Martha Stewart to jail for less than this... and his business record is his only platform. W/o bain, and trying to bash obama, what will he say that he is going to do?

Previous Dem campaigns would buckle under and be all "Okay" and let the Republicans frame the discussion.

Obama's going to be like "fuck that" and rip the scab off over and over again and keep the wound nice and salted for the Romney campaign.

Whatever. I agree with you 100% Might even be tonight. He won't 'splain anything. He'll answer all questions with "failed policies, job killing, 8% unemployment, failed stimulus..." Romney will NOT come clean tonight.

about being "attacked" over the stuff on Romney's resume. Claiming Bain is out of bounds for some absurd reason and that talking about it is "low" and requires apologies to Prince Romney.

My guess though is that they will go to a combination of everything they have tried so far: "that has been looked into," "Obama is lying" and "Bain proves Romney's business skills."
