Mitt Romney is still struggling with the tax question.
While he said he would release his 2011 tax return in April and that he might or might not release his tax returns from previous years. From there he babbled and then talk about President Obama playing golf and the Keystone Pipeline. To his credit, John King kept Romney focused on the topic at hand. King noted that Romney’s father released twelve years worth of tax returns during his Presidential bid in 1968 because “one year may be a fluke.” King asked Romney if he would follow his father’s example. Romney replied, “Maybe.”
That didn’t go over well with the audience.
Questions like these should be answered directly and with brevity. All Romney needs to say,”I’ll release my tax returns in April.” Why he can’t do that is beyond me? It might cost him the nomination.

I have been impressed by Romney all night long...except for this. Why he cannot just say...YES and give a date certain, is beyond me.
Dan| 1.19.12 @ 10:19PM
It's who he is.
With him, everything is positioning. Even his rationalization was a description of what was to his political advantage or disadvantage.
We've seen enough of the man in these debates to have a good idea of who he is.
And he's a very, very cautious man.

While, Dr. Ron Paul Reveals His Congressional Financial Disclosure Statement, Every Year, The Dog Apparently Ate Mittens Tax Returns.
WL| 1.20.12 @ 12:33AM

I'm gonna side with Clint on his expected next statement...why did the moderator almost EXCLUDE the only doctor on the stage, regarding the abortion question?
WL| 1.20.12 @ 12:30AM
Because the fact that he is an M.D. doesn't mean a rotten stinking THING! that's why...
I don't care about a Dr.'s opinion on abortion...
I CARE ABOUT MY OPINION....what does he know that we don't.
Don't get me wrong...I agree with the good Dr. on this issue...but that doesn't mean his opinion is any better than anyone elses...because he was a Dr....
Come on MAN...reload and shoot something better than that drivel... You might as well go on a MSM moderated debate and play the part of a victim that ain't got no MONEY because the government won't do anything for ME!!! wah wah wah...
Dan| 1.19.12 @ 10:14PM
I think he hurt himself with that, especially when he wouldn't favourably contrast himself to the behavior of his own father.
That didn't go over well in the hall.
WL| 1.20.12 @ 12:36AM
Hurt him? to who? the Democrat voters?
Did someone say something about MITT committing tax evasion???????????????????
NO...you people are just sheep like the Dem. Voters...
I can't stand MITT, but I hate that us poor little voters can't resist deeee-manding to see ol Mitts income and Taxes....so we can wallow in self-pity and envy because someone else is more successful than we are....
Get a grip you TWITS.
