It just hit me - more bad press for Romney [View all]

It appears that the rest of this week, at a minimum, will be focused on Bain and Romney tax returns.

In a couple of weeks the Olympics start so that will dominate the news. BUT and it is a large horse sized BUTT, the Romney's have their horse competing in Dressage.

NBC will have to cover it and Joe and Jane average Americans are going to do a collective WTF!
