How does one explain Bain Capital's latest acquisition of Bombardier's jet ski and snowmobile business? Followers of Massachusetts Governor and Bain founder Mitt Romney could have spotted his support for Bombardier's products some time ago. The Canadian firm supplied all of the ATVs and snowmobiles for the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games, which Romney directed.

It could not be determined if the jet skis were from Bombardier.
