Attacks On Romney Taking Their Toll

The Obama campaign as well as his allies have been hammering Romney relentlessly on his record at Bain Capital; accusing him of being or at the very least strongly suggesting he is an out of touch venture capitalist pirate with no regard for any but the very rich and his own pocket.
The attacks have gone largely unanswered and this is taking a toll on Romney's image.
It is not too late yet, but if the Romney campaign does not come up with a good answer to these attacks the perceptions these ads are creating will solidify in the minds of the electorate making victory in November nearly impossible.
He needs to show the real story of his work at Bain, address the failures but stress the successes. Show not just companies that are thriving because of his work but workers who have jobs. Show men and women who themselves are living the American dream because they have a job with a company saved by Bain. There must be thousands of these stories. Pick a few of the most interesting and inspiring.
Further we need to hear more about Romney's record as governor and his management skills and how all of these will come into play if he becomes our next President.
It's not too late, but if the Romney campaign doesn't write a positive narrative of Romney the only story there will be is the Obama campaign's negative one.
