Booker just did the same thing to Romney that the Romney campaign did with the Rev. Wright stuff

Lets see. He is against using Bain stuff. Couple hours later he is all for using the Bain stuff. Well, the news has to cover that.

But all he really did was bring a lot of free media press attention to Romney's past as a vulture capitalist. And has everyone talking about it.

Isn't that what just happened?

Wish I had a nickel for every time I heard the word Bain on cable news today.

Fuck him.

He lost a lot of people on the left permanently yesterday.

That there are so many things to focus on for the campaign including Obama's record.

Whether it was a mistake or not, he's done a lot of things as a mayor that I fully support and wish that more mayors were like him. Plus, he saved a woman from a house fire. It would take more than this for him to lose me permanently but YMMV of course.

I think Bain is going to be devastating for RMoney once there are ads and personal experiences paraded before the television viewing lemmings.

The real word used and defined.
bane (bn)
n.
1. Fatal injury or ruin: "Hath some fond lover tic'd thee to thy bane?" (George Herbert).
2.
a. A cause of harm, ruin, or death: "Obedience,/Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,/Makes slaves of men" (Percy Bysshe Shelley).
b. A source of persistent annoyance or exasperation: "The spellings of foreign names are often the bane of busy copy editors" (Norm Goldstein).
3. A deadly poison.
