Does PE really love Mitt Romney?

  Share     E-Mail    Discussion    Print Story

Depending upon who you ask, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney (pictured at right) may or may not be the darling of private equity. If the someone you ask is The Wall Street Journal’s Brody Mullins, then the co-founder of Bain Capital LLC is the top candidate by donations from the buyout industry. However, if the someone you ask is PEHub's Dan Primack, Romney has fallen out of favor with his former compatriots. So for an objective third-party view, head over to Dealbook, which compares and contrasts Mullins' and Primack's analyses. —Matthew Wurtzel
