In the 28-minute documentary-style ad released online by Newt Gingrich's Super PAC, a number of workers who were laid off at companies taken over by Mitt Romney's firm, Bain Capital, suggest that their companies would have been profitable and they would have kept their jobs if Bain had simply left them alone.

Over the past few days, Newt Gingrich and his super PAC have been attacking Mitt Romney as a "corporate raider" for his work at Bain Capital, and Gingrich has faced considerable pushback from many on the right.
