The Romney campaign has put together a web video combining clips from three Democrats expressing discomfort with the Obama campaign’s attacks on Bain Capital. Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who Sunday said that the attacks on Bain made him “uncomfortable,” is featured prominently in the video, along with former Democratic Congressman Harold Ford, Jr. and former “car czar” Steve Rattner. The video is called “Big Bain Backfire.”

“Even Obama’s own supporters have had enough,” a voiceover says. “Enough is enough!” 

For their part, the Obama campaign is not backing off its attacks on Bain, the latest of which highlights the closed Indiana Ampad factory under Bain’s watch before ultimately going bankrupt. Monday afternoon, after releasing a new video and holding a conference call on Ampad, the Obama campaign sent out an email with the subject line “New Report Reveals Lingering Damage in Indiana from Romney Economics,” drawing attention to a Politico story on how Ampad only paid out a fraction of what it owed its creditors when it went through bankruptcy.
