5. Sorry, but I don't think Mitt was running a business.

He was a partner in a private equity/leveraged buyout firm. That group was just that...a group! They talked each deal over and jointly made a decision on which was to go and what to do. THAT'S NOT running a company!

Although Romney is probably the best of the four candidates left in the race, I KNOW all he would do if elected is eliminate all barriers to businesses and Wall Street, and make the SCOTUS extreme RW for the nest 25 years!
