It will kill him if he continues to act like he's hiding something.

There was an interesting article the other day about Romney's taxes...that what he's hiding is how he's used shifting IRA's to get around the IRS's yearly contribution limits. Don't know if it's BS or not.

What I do find is that Romney's difficulty in answering the tax question is really, really odd. He's got an army of highly paid advisers that clearly aren't doing their job.

If he did have a tax issue you'd think he would have fixed it when he ran 4 years ago.

That, and I think if he really wanted to shut the door, he'd release them back a few years. to me, it makes it seem he doesn't want it known how much he earned in previous years...

It sounds like Newt is finally getting around to releasing his FMae/FMac contract and documents

I don't think his net worth bothers people, I have to agree with Jeff for once... it is more than he wasn't prepared to deal with this!

It will matter to those who are going to vote for Obama regardless which means it doesn't really matter.
