It worked for W. and cocaine

2. If worked for Bush because

he wasn't running for president based on his National Guard service or his history of cocaine use. It's the same reason the Reverend Wright attacks on BHO didn't work in 2008.

Romney, on the other hand, is basing his entire presidential campaign on his business experience and his ability to improve the economy. His tax returns are an integral part of this -- they would explain how he ran his businesses and how he handled his personal finances.

If he doesn't release them he is essentially saying, "I'm not going to show you how I manage my own finances, but you should trust me to manage the nation's finances."

It's hard to believe that the Romney campaign thought they would be able to sweep the tax returns under the rug, but here we are.
