The complexities of “ownership” vs. “managmentent authority” are far too arcane to make a difference in an election battle where the electorate probably more concerned about whether Kim Kardashian will every bear Kanye’s child.

As Ralphiboy points out, the problem is that Mitt has been selling his Presidential qualifications around how such a spectacular businessman he has been (and trying to ignore his tenure as MA governor with all the realities of Romneycare and abortion), and since Bain was indeed involved in chopping down American companies, moving business overseas, not to meantion owning a company dealing with aborted fetuses, that key Romney sales pitch now looks quite tarnished.

Kudos on a very concise assessment. In the big picture I don’t think its a big deal if he was or wasn’t ‘at’ Bain during that time. But it’s how he presented himself.

He really hasn’t pressed his experience as Mass Gov, which is weird. It likely has to do with the fact of his health care achievements there. The problem with his business success is the outsourcing and vulture capitalism accusations, which seem to have merit.
