In reply to the discussion: Chris Wallace: Romney's Tax Returns 'Politically Toxic' [View all]cleduc
(653 posts)57. But if Romney doesn't want to show them,
there's not much Obama can do beyond what they're doing: keep the media heat on him.
As George Will suggested, if Romney feels the political damage from showing them is worse than the political damage from not showing them, we'll never see them. The longer this goes on, the less likely it is that we'll ever see them. And there's little Obama can do beyond the sorts of things his campaign is already doing - ramping up the delivery of political damage by keeping the story alive in the media. Obama has no legal recourse. Sadly, there's a risk of the media tiring of the story because eventually, there's little new going to come out.

They've actually got one of the Koch brothers as a delegate. Maybe they'll eliminate the middle man.

Maybe Wallace pays a lot higher percentage. This whole thing blows the cover off

As long as the questions are hanging out there, we have to assume the worst.

Any day that Mitt Romney campaigns for himself is a 'Bad Day for Mitt Romney...'

The fact that huge corporations and folks like Romney do not pay their fair share is a big issue.
