Republicans rally around Romney after hits on Bain

[PRETZEL]

6. Part damage control, imo

I think they're starting to circle the wagons to a certain degree. By month's end the field will more than likely be down to 3 with Mitt, Newt(or Santorum) and Paul. By the time Super Tuesday rolls around in February, it may be over.

They need to start refining their message while at the same time letting info out on R-money's (thanks to whomever penned that name) Bain's practices and their form of "capitalism". Guilliani's got a point, "ignorance of the American economic system" is the message they need to control. The more America learns about not only Bain, but the nature of venture capitalism doesn't bode well. As more people learn that "profits over people" is one of the underlying forces of venture capitalism, the less they'll like it and that would be a huge liability to R-money.
