On the day before an election that is supposed to hinge on jobs, taxes and the middle class, Bain Capital will ship 170 good, high-tech jobs to China.
Second presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. on Oct. 16, 2012.

“Fired” consultant Nathan Sproul appears to still be operating on behalf of Republicans in at least 10 states.
Paul Ryan spoke for 40 of the 90 minutes during Thursday night’s vice presidential debate and managed to tell at least 24 myths during that time.
