If we could only get Mitt to say he would release his tax records when Obama releases his college transcripts....

That would be what the Obama campaign would love. It would take all conversation off this lousy economy. A distraction is the reason they want the tax records released.

Not releasing the tax records IS a huge distraction and an unpopular position. Did you notice how badly it destroyed Romney in the South Carolina primary among Republican voters? And when he did finally release one return, it didn't create a huge scandal or hurt him. The reporting on them wasn't anything shocking for a rich guy. Creating the fear of the unknown and the sense that he is hiding something is much worse.
