Bain matters. And so far, it's not going well for Mitt Romney.

Mitt Romney flashes cash with his Bain partners ABC's Amy Walters:
Bill Clinton and many in the chattering class may think that the attacks on Mitt Romney's record at Bain are a flop, but a group of women swing voters at two focus groups I watched last night suggest that they are working. While these women in Las Vegas and Richmond, Virginia still don't know much about Mitt Romney, a number of them volunteered that they were concerned about what they had heard about Romney's record from TV. Said Rebecca from Richmond, 'the whole thing where factories have shut down ' that concerns me.'
It's not just the focus group that has serious questions and concerns about Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital. Check out the answers to this question about Bain from this week's Daily Kos/SEIU State of the Nation poll conducted by PPP:
Q: Does Mitt Romney's work at Bain Capital make you more or less likely to vote for him, or does it not make a difference?
More likely: 18
Less likely: 38
No difference: 41
Not sure: 3
The one thing that I can absolutely guarantee you is that "No difference" won't be 41 percent by November. Voters will either decide that Romney's experience as CEO of Bain Capital gives him the skills he needs to grow the economy'or they'll decide it's not the kind of background their are looking for in a president. Winning that argument is one of the keys to winning this election, and our side already has a big lead.
