Bill Bain, the founder of Bain & Company and Bain Capital, is a man who typically avoids the harsh glare of the media spotlight. Nevertheless, he has chosen to speak out recently in an effort to combat the barrage of deceptive attacks being waged on Bain as a means to discredit Mitt Romney. The article, available on the Daily Beast website, is linked below.

The Real Bain
The Boston Globe has published today my opinion piece in defense of Mitt Romney and the time he spent working at Bain & Company and Bain Capital. Romney and I worked together closely at Bain & Company beginning in the late-1970s. I saw first-hand the man's amazing talents and intelligence. He worked as hard and as smartly as anyone I have ever known. Further, he had a deep and genuine compassion for others. He was an inspiring individual.
Look, no matter which candidate you vote for next month, you want to choose based on solid facts and true information. And in my view this recent spate of attacks on Mitt Romney based on his time spent at Bain is totally spurious. Maybe you have deep ideological beliefs that impel you toward one candidate over another. Maybe you just have a gut-feeling. Maybe you picked through eeny meeny miny moe. Fine. But no undecided voter looking for clean data on which to sincerely weigh the pros and cons should be force-fed false and misleading information (naive as I know that sounds). And these phony attacks on Bain as a way of discrediting Romney are just that - false, misleading and manipulative.
Those interested can find my article here on the Boston Globe opinion page.
