Romney 2012?

Please explain how Romney is closing a company.
Since you claim HE is closing the company, please show us all exactly how he is doing it and when he has had the time.

Oh wait, you said that exaggeration is ok when talking about political candidates, so that's what you must be doing now.

But since you want to talk about candidates, will you explain why Obama let the US ambassador to Libya get murdered.

Sahit Muja: President Obama has a narrow lead in Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa, Wisconsin and Nevada.

With just 18 days left before the Presidential Election, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are locked in a tight race. The second presidential debate doesn’t appear to have made a difference in the battleground state polls.

A new poll from Rasmussen Reports shows the race for New Hampshire’s Electoral College votes remains a toss-up. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely New Hampshire voters shows that President Obama has 50% of the support and Mitt Romney has 49%.

Mitt Romney, who famously authored an op-ed in 2008 suggesting that the federal government should "let Detroit go bankrupt," has been on the defensive in the Midwest ever since President Barack Obama's controversial auto bailout turned the struggling companies around. Political observers roundly agree that Romney's opposition to federal intervention may very well cost him Ohio and therefore the White House.

At Tuesday's presidential debate on Long Island, Romney attempted to recast the story, with himself as the champion of the industry (see the video above), but his comments at the time, recorded for posterity, have made such a reinvention challenging.

But while Romney's political fortunes may have been shorted by the Obama's auto rescue, the bailout was a boon for his personal fortune.

A new report running Thursday in The Nation finds that Romney and his wife, Ann, made at least $15.3 million -- and perhaps tens of millions more -- as a result of bailout funds paid to General Motors. The story, an early copy of which was provided to The Huffington Post, is written by investigative reporter Greg Palast and was backed by the The Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute.

Romney's windfall from the bailout is directly tied to his relationship with Paul Singer, the billionaire hedge fund manager who donated $1 million to the Republican's presidential campaign in April. As The Nation reports, the Romneys invested at least $1 million with Singer's fund, Elliott Management, which is known for investing in distressed or bankrupt companies.

One of those bankrupt companies was Delphi, an auto parts maker that hit financial trouble after being spun off from its former parent, GM. Singer's fund bought up a controlling interest in Delphi for about 67 cents a share on average, The Nation calculates. By last November, Delphi's initial public offering was priced at $22 a share, thanks in part by efforts to cut costs by moving operations overseas and employing non-union workers. Delphi's stock price has continued to take off, with shares closing around $32 as of this week.

But that profit was also greatly bolstered by Delphi's lingering ties to GM, which depended on the company for essential auto parts.
