Democratic leaders back Obama’s Bain strategy vs. Romney, acknowledge risks
Source: washington post
After nearly two weeks of heated debate over whether President Obama should attack Republican Mitt Romney’s tenure at a private-equity firm, Democratic leaders across the country say they are largely united behind the strategy, even as some concede an uncertain outcome and new polls show Obama has lost ground nationally.
The Democratic leaders, in numerous interviews over the last week, said they are hearing little or no resistance among the party faithful in their states to a strategy that Republicans have characterized as anti-capitalist. And Obama has no plans to back off; his campaign will roll out more stories in the coming weeks that advisers said will again show Bain Capital as a corporate menace that protects profits at the expense of people and jobs.
“He wanted to have this conversation,” Jim Burn, chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, said of Romney, the likely GOP nominee. “We’re going to have it. There should be no hesitation or equivocation.”
In Nevada, one Democrat said voters direct most of the blame for the state’s persistently high unemployment and foreclosure rates at Wall Street, describing it as the “bogeyman” of the election. In Ohio, party leaders said a large blue-collar population is receptive to evidence that Romney focused more on profits than people. Even in New Hampshire, where unemployment, at 5 percent, is far lower than in the hardest-hit states, Raymond Buckley, the state Democratic chairman, said voters blame the “reckless behavior” of investors such as Romney for the declining fortunes of their friends and family elsewhere.

pretty firmly in his corner also.
"Slavish, pussified country" - careful you're not alerted on. That said, the phrase could easily become a book title 
of what is on or off the table in terms of "acceptable" strategy? 
In 2008, they put anything and everything on the table with respect to Obama, despite the exhortations not to - whether it be his childhood, his family, his acquaintances, and even manufactured acquaintances that they never bothered researching. The fact that the birther issue, Rev. Wright, and even the ridiculousness of resurrecting Bill Ayers, is STILL alive and well and pushed by these same media, as they literally swarm around the latest crazy to tout more birth certificate nonsense or threaten to run cherry-picked, out-of-context. clips of Rev. Wright sermons. 
Since Rmoney pointed to Bain as his "experience" for dealing with economic issues, then it was he who put the subject on the table.
