I don’t know why either of them is staying in. With Gingrich, it’s probably his mammoth ego. Here’s the problem if Romney sews this up. Eleanor Clift, rabid liberal commentator, was on “The McLaughlin Group” program over the weekend. She flat out said that reports are now circulating that the reason Romney is refusing to release his tax returns is that he’s using tax shelters in the Cayman Islands.
Consider this: the elites in the Republican Party who are attempting to shove Romney down our throats will have set up a candidate who cannot possibly win if these rumors are true. A guy who’s worth a quarter of a billion dollars; who brags about giving people pink slips; who talks about how important it is to take on radical Jihadism but who has five sons who have never worn the uniform; and a guy whose record of job growth when he was governor was in public sector jobs is more electable than Santorum?
Romney’s background should be thoroughly scrutinized before he’s crowned. The Republicans aren’t doing it. The Democrats are. We are in for some nasty surprises should Romney be the nominee.

Yep. And even if it isn't true- if he doesn't release them and prove otherwise- the MSM and the Dems will lie and say it's true anyways.
(This thing ain't "over" yet, no matter how much they want to create the impression of "inevitability" for Romney.)
