And a former executive, Mark B. Wolpow, says:

“I reported directly to Mitt Romney . . . You can’t be CEO of Bain Capital and say, `I really don’t know what my guys were doing,’” Mr. Wolpow said of Mr. Romney role at the company during his leave.

I think "Baingate" is ready for primetime. Considering Romney is going on air on a Friday night to combat this is very interesting.

I believe Mr. Walpow is referring to an "on leave" period before the 1999-2003 gap in question.

16. Uhhh duuh. CEO pay for what? These guys are always saying they earn their ridiculous salaries.

For what? For being a ghost ceo?

Bullshit. Can't have it both ways boys.

18. CEO's

I think it was John Kenneth Galbraith who said that there are few people who earn more for doing less than corporate CEO's.

17. Depends on what the meaning of "no" is

He IS getting Clintonesque. Without the charm, smarts and political skill of course.

21. An executive that attempts to back up Romney's lie will be putting themselves in danger.

If, and that is a big IF, the SEC begins an investigation those who attempting to protect him will be in jeopardy of committing perjury especially in view that one former executive has already contradicted this claim. I have little doubt that they would not hesitate to throw him under the bus if the are threatened. Romney may have made the most serious blunder of his life.

22. Curious. Does this point to a brokered convention?

Since all of this is coming out now, there is yet time to bring someone else into the light as a possibility.
I still think Jeb is being framed as the 'reasonable' one. (Liz C. as a running mate?)

[Z_California]

23. Exactly what I'm worried about

We don't want a knockout until they confirm he's their guy. I have a feeling the heavy guns will come out after the racist hatefest known as the Republican Convention.

Can't wait.
