47. Romney Needs To Drive
Sat Aug 11, 2012, 12:37 AM
Aug 2012

The news that he didn't pay income taxes for 10 years and Romney's role in Marriott's legal issue while he was on their Board off the front pages. I actually picked this weekend for the VP announcement so it would be the story on Sunday talk. The surprise would have been that he didn't announce his pick on Saturday.
