NASHUA, N.H. — Forget his specific rivals. The biggest threat to Mitt Romney is hitting now and set to fully detonate in South Carolina: It’s the Bain bomb.While conservatives look unlikely to unite around one alternative to Romney, the campaigns themselves are uniting around the theme that the former head of Bain Capital looted companies, tossed people out of jobs and is now exaggerating his success at the venture capital firm.
In the context of this moment in American politics, in which frustration with the privileged is boiling hot, the attack, from Republicans on one side and the Obama campaign on the other, will test Romney. If he ends up looking more like an opportunist who profited for the few than like a man who created jobs for the many, it’s hard to imagine his polls numbers won’t drop.

It’s the age-old fallacy of a candidate attempting to be all things to all people, while at the same time, desperately trying to be something that they are not. I’m from Massachusetts and I know full well of what Romney is all about. He will say anything to achieve his political ambitions, and has no problem at all contradicting himself on a plethora of issues.
The man simply has no consistency with respect to what he truly believes in.
“Don’t pay attention to that man behind the curtain! I am the mighty, all-powerful Wizard of OZ!”
