I will say there is a multiple level attack against Romney, regarding Bain capital, that is based on a lot of factors. I believe that the current line of attack seen in the news, that has Romney denying involvement with Bain past 1999, is exactly what the Democrats and Obama are setting him up for. Given Romney's tendency to change views, they are looking to get him to position himself as not involved with any decisions at Bain, to nail him on something else.
What I see is going to be the fallout is the attack will change. Romney's own words of not being involved in Bain will be what gets echoed. He is quite clear regarding this now. The line of the attack will be that Romney was still paid by Bain when he was gone. He made money involved in owning Bain, while things went bad. While Bain was involved in layoffs, Romney did absolutely nothing to try to reverse the course, and help Americans keep their jobs. Romney got rich off his company that fired workers and did nothing to step in and be involved to stop it. He got richer while Americans suffered and did nothing to stop it.
Of course, if the old line of attack sticks, that can be a problem, but this is the new line. And the end result is that a strength of Romney is turned into a weakness for him, and Romney won't be able to argue that he is more suited than the current administration to address the unemployment issue being faced. It can be argued to be right out of the Rove playbook.
