An email from the consulting firm Bain & Company to recent hires suggests that the presidential campaign of its alum Mitt Romney is creating headaches for the firm, particularly as it attempts to differentiate itself from Bain Capital, the private equity firm Romney helped found, which has received bad publicity in recent weeks.
The email, obtained by TPM, was sent in recent days by Graham Rose, a Bain partner in its Boston office, to recent hires from the Wharton School of Business. Rose, himself a Wharton alum, oversees recruiting for Bain at Wharton. A company press release from 2008 identifies him working in the consulting firms private equity and industrial goods and services practices.
The email reviews Romneys history with the two companies, explains how the two companies are distinct entities, and expresses pride in Romneys accomplishments while noting that the company does not play an active role in partisan politics.

The man who was head of Bain & Company told Mitt to start Bain Capital.
that would be Bill Bain the head of Bain & Company to the right of Mitt.

Bain can fuggedabouddit--no one is going to make the distinction that they desire. Bain is Bain, he has been associated with both of 'em, and they're not going to feel any love. Game, set, match.

(604 posts)Ha - Bain is not involved in politics. Bain people have given nearly $2m in donations to Romney thru Q3 2011. Find out soon how much in Q4.
Romneys dodgy campaign contributions.

Bain is looking to become the Halliburton of a Romney administration.
