" Wherein we discover that the campaign of Willard Romney \u2014 the latest masterpiece of which came last night when he mispronounced &amp;quot;Sith&amp;quot; as &amp;quot;sheikh&amp;quot; and then stumbled over the last hurdle and threw his rider \u2014 has decided to defend the candidate against the perception that he is a money-grubbing, soul-destroying corporate Manitou by hiring for the job on Michelle Davis... a former lobbyist for BP. Exactly how they plan to handle the Bain pushback going forward is unclear. Purple Strategies partner Bruce Haynes, a GOP strategist who has worked with Davis before, praised her heavily, saying, &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s strong, she&amp;#039;s smart and she&amp;#039;s seen the movie from the financial crisis to the Gulf Oil spill. ... She&amp;#039;s the perfect person for the Romney campaign to call on to try to take Bain and either fight it to a draw or turn it into a positive.&amp;quot; He added, &amp;quot;Some people like me want to see Mitt say, &amp;#039;You bet we tore some companies up. That&amp;#039;s what it took to save them and save most of the jobs. And America is going to have do some tough things, too. I&amp;#039;ve got the courage to do that. You had your shot and you gave us more of same and it isn&amp;#039;t working.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Perhaps, one day, Mr. Haynes will explain to us exactly what &amp;quot;courage&amp;quot; it took to lard a company up with debt and then make a couple of million when it went under. He can also explain exactly what &amp;quot;tough things&amp;quot; Willard Romney ever has experienced in his entire life. I look forward to Ms. Davis&amp;#039;s teaching the country the hard lessons it deserves. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
