Predicting where the Bain capital charges against Romney will lead...

I'd say nowhere.

I don't get why Obama is pushing it so hard... it doesn't seem to be pushing the numbers at all, and if anything is hurting his campaign.

I mean, the new line of attack your talking about is ridiculous, he was still getting paid because they were still negotiating his buyout, but he had already lost any decision making power he had as a part of the negotiations...

and I mean, an arguement about outsourcing isn't really safe ground for Obama.

 

The midwest is still smarting over all the backtracking he made on promises to Ohio/Michigian etc about halting NAFTA for renogiations and stopping other free trade deals.

Attacks like this will only highlight his own betrayels in that regard.

I don't think people are really sweating the details on the attacks, here (or if they are, it's irrelevent to the point). This isn't like Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, where they are trying to prove or disprove something specific about the candidate's past. What the Obama campaign/associated SuperPACs are doing here is just generating noise about the predatory nature of private equity and the moneymen that have no regard for Americans' livelihood (the people whom we are supposed to trust ourselves to if the right-wing narrative is to be believed), which is why the details have been inconsistent: they're unimportant. Examples are just to demonstrate things.

Even the middle including many middle left democrats have gone out against the attacks against Bain though.  I can't see how this isn't hurting more then helping.

It has a risk of becoming Obama's own "birther" event except... one directly started by him that he can't distance himself from.

 

He's risking the allegiance of practically every "Clinton" democrat... and those are the most popular democrats!
