Carl Hittinger coauthored a post for The Legal Intelligencer that discussed President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and their stances on antitrust policy leading up to the 2012 presidential election. In "Antitrust Policy and the 2012 Presidential Election," Hittinger outlines the views each candidate took on antitrust enforcement during their campaigns, emphasizing that Romney had not made a clear stance on his views, while Obama's previous term demonstrated where he stood during his four years in office.
