5:51 PM PT: The next speaker at the convention is named Bob White. Just saying.

5:52 PM PT: Bob White is Romney's campaign Chairman and says he helped Mr. Bain start Bain Capital. Message: Bain is a great American success story and nobody ever got hurt by the company and you are a communist if you disagree.

5:52 PM PT: Okay, what White is really saying is that people within Bain were supposed to be loyal to each other.

5:54 PM PT: Okay, you know, I'm glad that Mitt had friends. But really, these friends are just confirming everything I ever thought about him.

5:55 PM PT: Wow, they are making Mitt "saving" Bain & Co. an issue. He saved it with a Federal bailout, and he did it in the scummiest way possible. You must read this.

5:55 PM PT: Oh, and Mitt got the biggest federal bailout ever given to any Olympics, ever. Because leadership.
