President Obama’s fierce attacks on Mitt Romney’s history with Bain Capital hit a nerve with Karl Rove, who on “Fox News Sunday” simultaneously lashed out at the president and advised him to stop making one of his most explosive allegations: that Romney may be a felon.
Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush’s presidential victories, now runs the pro-Republican super PAC American Crossroads, which is spending heavily to help Romney defeat Obama. He took issue with the Obama campaign’s suggestion that Romney’s SEC disclosure forms — in which Romney described himself as managing director at Bain beyond 1999, contrary to his claim that he left that year — could make him guilty of a felony ...

... and then question if he was actually even qualified to be GOV since he may or may NOT have lived in Mass enough/at the time...am i right? Rachel had his former gov challenger on last night and pointed out this very 'glitch'...either he was or he wasn't, either way he's a felon or reeeealy stupid or both...
