Hurry up! Let's not let go of this! There are only...days, er, weeks, er months, er, *years* left until the election.

Many pundits and reporters (or at least, "so-called reporters") often tout Mitt Romney's "business acumen." Well, let's talk about that "acumen." Yeah, yeah, this is from a "union site" and, therefore "suspect." But before you start hammering me, find some reliable primary information that discredits the facts in the piece.

If he, or any other candidate, for that matter, has some sort of business experience that he is pointing to as part of his CV, then it bears investigation. Hmmm. How about Herman Cain? How was Godfathers Pizza to its employees? What was the quality level of the product? Did the company have any particular concern for its environmental impact?

Yes, these questions are all relevant, if these guys are going to use their business experience as examples of their "success." Or do they want to run from them??
