I don't know what to make of this, but the LA Times is reporting that Romney is currently off the air in at least large parts of Ohio. While withdrawing from Michigan and Pennsylvania might make a certain amount of sense, there's really no scenario in which Romney can win without Ohio, nor is there any clear reason for him to pull ads there. Maybe someone can shed light on this:

[F]or reasons that his advisors declined to discuss, Romney has ceded the advertising airwaves to Obama over the last week in Ohio and other battleground states.
The sudden cease-fire offered a surprising lull in what for months had been a guns-blazing advertising war waged in Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Nevada, Colorado, Iowa and New Hampshire — on one side, Romney and his allies; on the other, the president and his.

...

But Romney’s temporary withdrawal has been striking here in northern Ohio, where what had looked to TV viewers for months like an evenly matched, if annoying, ad battle transformed into a lopsided all-Obama/all-the-time promotion campaign, with news coverage of the Democratic National Convention amplifying the president’s message.

The Romney vacuum was especially noteworthy given that early voting in Ohio starts in less than four weeks.

There is a recent and excellent diary by 8ackgr0und N015e that describes how one can learn a great deal about Bain - and Romney's involvement in it - through public filings available on the SEC's EDGAR database. Of course, in addition to filings with the SEC, various Bain entities are also required to make certain filings with the states of Delaware (where they are incorporated/organized) and Massachusetts (where they are headquartered). While you have to pay a fee to access Delaware corporate records, the Massachusetts filings are publicly accessible through the Massachusetts Secretary of State's website, here. And, lo and behold, these records provide even more grist for the mill.
