Democrats Revive Attack That Romney Misstated Role at Bain

Democrats reupped their main point of attack against Mitt Romney today, suggesting once again that the Republican candidate might have committed a felony as the GOP camp refused to play ball.

Last week, Romney demanded in five interviews with the main TV networks that President Obama apologize for his campaign's implication that Romney broke the law by misstating his role at Bain Capital on documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Obama said he would not be apologizing.

The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, revived the accusation on MSNBC today. Democrats have been helped by a Boston Globe report that said Romney was listed as the head of Bain Capital for three years after he had said he left, in 1999. Romney's maintaining that he had left Bain that year let him escape blame for the outsourcing of jobs that happened at Bain-backed companies after 1999.

"Either Mitt Romney was lying on SEC forms and misrepresenting to his investors — which could be a felony — that he was the sole owner, president, CEO of Bain Capital from 1999 until almost the end of 2001, or he wasn't and represented that he was," Wasserman Schultz said. "It can't be both. And so if he was sole owner, president, CEO, then he is to be held accountable for the decisions that were made for the outsourcing of jobs that took place during that time."

1. They know something they aren't saying - yet

If somebody as timid as Debbie Wasserman Schultz has jumped on the band wagon, there is a lot more to this story than we've heard so far.

They're trying to back him into a corner where he has no choice but to release those tax returns. The longer he tries to stall the more it looks like he's hiding something. And you know what? I think he is hiding something really bad and the Obama campaign knows what it is.

But for now they're content to leave his twisting slowly in the wind.

We need 5,000 signatures. Once we get that, we will start the avalanche to destroy Romney, get Obama re-elected and if necessary, beef up the Executive Order process so we can bypass Congress as we have been doing the past two years.
