Mitt Romney probably never wants to see another Etch A Sketch, but investors don't feel that way: The toy that caused a campaign faux pas Wednesday led the stock of its owner, Ohio Art Co., to more than double.Rachel Maddow may also have added to Ohio Art Co.’s good fortune last night on MSNBC. Too funny.
Granted, that’s with thin trading volume on the over-the-counter market. The 141% jump pushed the value up $5.65 to close at $9.65 a share.
What’s bad news for Eric Fehrnstrom -- the Romney senior aide who, on Wednesday, likened his boss’ policy strategy to the Etch A Sketch’s ever-changing chameleon ways, and on CNN no less -- is great news for Ohio Art.
Mitt Romney won’t lose this election because of this comment – especially since it came from someone in his campaign instead of the horse’s mouth. But this will stick. Four years after the 2008 election we are still talking about John McCain not knowing how many houses he owned.
This, is sort of like, that.
