Why Won't Romney Release More Tax Returns (The New Yorker)

[wiggs]

42. He'll release a few more years' worth of returns and that

will be it. He won't go all the way back to 2000 or before like he did with McCain.

There will be some discussion of how much money he's made, how much wealth he has in various places...It won't look good for him, but I doubt there will be a bombshell. He's been running for office for a while...I bet his returns are as clean as a vulture capitalist/corporatist can get with a couple hundred attorneys as his disposal. His 'bedwetting' republican friends are calling for 4, 6, 8, 10 more years to be released...my uneducated guess is he'll release returns that go back to 2004 or 2006 and then ask if we can move on from the Bain stuff and stop attacking success.

Even more than before, the last couple of days have seen the gop camp hammer Obama on allegedly 'attacking success' or 'attacking capitalism' or even 'attacking America' with his comments. I can envision a scenario wherein they've decided to release some returns and are preemptively innoculating themselves against criticisms of how much Romney has made, how much he's worth, and how little in taxes he has paid. Watch for Friday dump?
