Romney Picks Up Speed, Exuding Confidence - Yahoo! News

Romney Picks Up Speed, Exuding Confidence - Yahoo! News

COMMENTARY | I hadn't quite made up my mind whom I'd support in the GOP 2012 primary and was leaning toward Newt Gingrich when the attacks on Bain Capital started.

It wasn't so much that I'm this great capitalist or anything. It's just that the economy works a certain way, and struggles to be free of government interference.

Moreover, the 1989 collapse of the Soviet Union made it all clear enough. The "dictatorship of the proletariat" was exposed as a hoax.

Newt Gingrich knows that well enough, yet he persisted in his attacks on Bain Capital. Further straining credulity were his awkward attempts at making a distinction between "good venture capitalism" and "bad venture capitalism."
