Romney Not Inclined to Release Tax Return If He Wins Nomination

12. Good advice to him

The fact is that this is now standard. Every presidential nominee has done so for years. The longer he waits, the more interest the media will have. As to moving jobs overseas, in his case, he is already accused of ACTIVELY having been involved in advising companies to do that - so passively investing in companies that do that is not really anything other than being consistent.

I hope he waits until much closer to the election if he is the nominee. If he put everything out now, it would get lost in the Republican circus this per-primary season has been. It would then be treated as "old news" and not covered much - if at all - in the general election.

As it is, he can easily be cast as the real life cleaned up "Gordon Gekko" at a time where the approval rating of Wall Street is at an epic low. That image is real and is as much a part of who he is as the image of him with his wife of 40 plus years and his clean cut good looking sons. (The Kennedy ad with the Hoosier workers laid off after Bain Capital took over their company was incredibly affecting. That he was a wealth creator (for the top 1%), not a job creator comes through - and can not really be countered by showing companies he helped to create jobs.)
