Cue the Bain puns: as predicted, frontrunner Mitt Romney’s career as CEO of the private-equity firm Bain Capital was immediately targeted by his competitors at the start of tonight’s debate in South Carolina. Newt Gingrich defended his attack ads slamming Romney as a greedy corporate titan, saying it’s about time he comes clean about the fact that he made millions off bankrupting companies. Perry followed suit by challenging Romney to release his tax returns like the rest of the candidates, causing the audience to erupt in cheers. So far tonight, Bain Capital has proved to be the Bain of Romney’s existence.
