Well, then is he really helping himself at all?

I would have thought that unlike a Friday where bad news is dumped so it won't be noticed, that the purpose of this was to rehabilitate his Bain image after a week of attacks. If not many people are going to see these interviews, then doesn't he just leave the negative image that is already out there?

I would have thought he was trying to win back voters who might be leaving his camp.

When candidates are interviewed, as opposed to running ads, isn't it usually free?

From what I can tell, that's all Mittens pretty much said in his interview I just saw.

He didn't even deny the allegations!
