You know, at first I thought this was just a blip, but the way Mitt has responded there is obviously some really shameful things in these documents. His Republican opponents are going to beat him over the head with it until he releases something. We're all expecting some pretty shady stuff, Camen Island accounts, corporate government handouts, legal tax evasion on $tens of millions, etc etc. You know the usual stuff for the top 1/1000th of 1% that Mitt is. But, what could be the big deal? Obviously there are things in there that they either need time to clean up and falsify or they don't think they win the Republican Primary.

Furthermore, why run for President if you have a financial history that if exposed will ruin your chances? The GOP better defeat him now or they are toast when Obama get's to take his shots at the Mitt's returns. I think he'll release it piece meal and it will be a huge campaign issue should he win the Republican nomination. "Did he release enough?" will be the question you hear all the time.

FOX and the talking heads will be arguing that Romney has provided enough, the rest of the thinking universe will know he's holding back the most shameful records. We will never see all of his returns and Obama will beat him over the head with that fact throughout the campaign.
