Democratic consultant Joe Trippi said Sunday he’s shocked at how “unready” and “flat-footed” Mitt Romney has been for the tough Bain attacks from President Obama.

“My own view is I think this is really hurting Romney right now,” Trippi said, arguing that he needs to proactively release evidence debunking the charges of him continuing to work at Bain beyond 1999, such as minutes from the company’s meetings.

He conceded that it’s too early to know whether the attacks will work, but  that “as somebody who’s been in a presidential campaign you can’t let this stuff go unanswered. You’ve got to put the proof and the facts out there, and it didn’t seem like they were ready to do that.”
