I looked into Romney, I looked into Gingrich, I watched all the debates.

Since this is what I’m currently paying attention to, I’m like a walking database on the subject. When I say that Romney can’t use a line of attack because of his own record, I’m being completely honest.

Romney’s problem is he has his own Solyndras, from his days as Governor.

[quote]Just under three weeks into his term as governor, Romney brought a $1.5 million check to Konarka, a well-connected solar startup in Lowell, Mass., itching to buy a new pilot production assembly line.

Four other companies also scored renewable energy subsidy awards that same day, including Evergreen Solar, which won $2.5 million for a major expansion and to cover operating losses as it tried to become profitable.
Also that day, Romney announced plans to take $15 million from Massachusetts’ Renewable Energy Trust Fund – a pot of more than $150 million collected from electricity customers following passage of a 1998 energy deregulation law – and start up a new private venture capital outfit that would back green-minded state businesses with equity, loans and management advice.

I remembered it being mentioned early in the primary, and just had to dig up the source.

No, I don’t like the fact that they got their information from Politico, since it is a left wing hack job of a site, but it does let us know that the Dems already know about this.

I played through the entire general election from what I know of the candidates: Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, Perry, and Cain, and how they stacked up to Obama from a baggage standpoint. I may have posted a diary concerning Gingrich, Santorum, and Romney, I know I made a post on the subject.

Yeah I know I don’t like Romney, but even if I did, I would have been alarmed.

Now, there is a way around this, if we can prove this initiative was the pet project of the legislature of MA at the time, and Romney couldn’t stop it so he tried to limit the damage, then we are in business. Who knows, as far left as Democrats are in MA, that may be the case, I don’t live in that State, so there may be some records that people can get from their state records, that I can’t look at (and hopefully there is).

Otherwise, we’d be shooting Romney in the foot if we bring this up.

Remember I play chess, so I’m not only thinking what our next move should be, I’m looking at how Obama will probably counterpunch and if we can then counterpunch the counterpunch. The worst thing for a politician is to accuse someone of something in a national campaign, only for people to point out you did the same thing a few years ago.

However, we could get lucky, if someone whom lives in MA could consult their state archives, cause if this was really a legislature pet project, we have the counterpunch to Obama’s counterpunch.
