CHART: Americans’ Interest In Bain Capital Spikes On Google, Twitter
Recent coverage of Mitt Romney’s private-sector record has piqued the public’s interest in Bain Capital, the private equity firm Romney founded and ran during the 1990s.

Paul Ryan (R-WI), a Romney surrogate, said on the Sunday talk show circuit after days of speculation over when exactly Romney left the private equity firm. “Or the details about of his assets which are managed by a blind trust, for Pete’s sake.
