I believe these happenings might be the best thing that happened for Romney....first of all
"Why does it matter when Mitt Romney left Bain Capital?
Millions of dollars of attack ads by the Obama campaign are hanging in the balance. If Romney left Bain in February 1999, when he departed to run the Olympics, then a number of business deals that went sour (such as KB Toys) can’t be counted as part of Romney’s tenure. If he actually left in 2002, as the Obama campaign alleges, then those deals are fair game.
We have looked at this issue before, back in January, and thought we had settled it.
But now the Boston Globe has raised the issue again. The story seems to hinge on a quote from a former Securities and Exchange Commission member, which would have more credibility if the Globe had disclosed she was a regular contributor to Democrats. (Interestingly, “The Real Romney,” a book on the former Massachusetts governor, by Boston Globe reporters, states clearly that he left Bain when he went to run the Olympics and details the turmoil that ensued when he suddenly quit, nearly breaking up the partnership)

"It’s the latest bit of nastiness in an increasingly nasty campaign over Romney’s business career — a career Obama’s campaign has tried to turn into an albatross.
Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter, along with Obama campaign lawyer Bob Bauer, argued Thursday that Romney may have lied to the Securities and Exchange Commission about leaving Bain in early 1999 to run the Salt Lake City Olympics.
Their accusations were based on a Boston Globe story reporting that SEC filings show Romney remained chief executive, chairman, and sole stockholder at Bain through 2002. The documents also showed, according to the Globe, that Romney earned $100,000 as a Bain “executive” in 2001 and 2002. "

If Romney lied he should pay the piper !!!!
HOWEVER, and I feel extremely confident that he did not lie.....it opens the doors to go after this man who is now showing how nasty a man he is...and that is the first time I have ever said anything about him personally...he said off the record he wanted to destroy the MAN...not just win....that is the President.
Once this settles, take off the gloves...no more rules....let the mysterious past of Obama be revealed...I am loving this actually.
Not a party guy at all so if he did lie, he should pay but he didnt and now the opening is there to let it all out !!!
