that without CU, Obama would have won by a huge margin because Romney was such a terrible candidate... the guy flip-flopped all over the place, didn't release his tax returns, gave no details of his tax/economic policies other than it will magically cut the deficit, cut taxes, increase defense spending and not touch social security or medicare. he was also an out-of-touch elitist who had nothing in common with the average American, had a ton of huge gaffes and had a gaffe prone staff as well.

Imagine if a rich Democrat had refused to release his tax returns? The rich Democrat likely would have had to bow out of the race in shame it would have been such a media firestorm.
