That's the key point Romney will not be able to escape from: he signed a document as the sole shareholder, president, and CEO. To Romneys point, yes he had brought in others to make the tactical decisions but it was still his people, his culture, and it's hard to believe he wasn't at least pay

In many ways I can't disagree ... But here's my calculus: if Mitt's elected his next campaign will begin in Jan 2013 and he'll do everything in his power to maintain status quo until then. Like Obama has. But if Obama is elected theres a slim chance he might try something bold. On Jul 14, 2
