than any hit he'll take for not releasing them. The pundits say it's "a gamble", but one he has to take, or he REALLY is screwed. If I know the M$M, the more he resists, the more curious they become, and the more they hypothesize, the pressure may overtake the Mittster.

They won't hold it against him for much longer. IMO He's rich, he's white, and he's Mormon. What more do "you people" need.


But I do believe this will pass. If he makes it to the convention without showing them, he's got it made.

.. is that the negatives are increasing but Romney is still
digging in his heels.

I get the feeling that he'll let his election crash before
he'll reveal the returns.

It all seems rather bizarre, but these days with Reeps,
what isn't?

"What's interesting to me.... is that the negatives are increasing but Romney is still
digging in his heels. "

...the media gave him the room to do so. Their first response to the Bain/offshoring/Swiss bank account/tax return issue was to claim that Obama was "Swiftboating" Romney.

Oh for God's sake, it isn't a swiftboating.

I mean, WTF?

The media and factchecking organizations deliberately blunted the impact of the charges by casting doubt on the Obama campaign.

of average working people, like a nurse says "I paid $9000 in taxes", another worker says "I paid $3400 in taxes". Then Mitt Romney $0 taxes and work in his "free stuff".
