YUP! Reid puts Romney in a bind over taxes - By Dana Bash, CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent

Reid puts Romney in a bind over taxes
By Dana Bash, CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent
updated 9:59 AM EDT, Tue August 7, 2012

Republican sources say they're in a Catch-22 situation on how to reply to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's claims that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney went 10 years without paying taxes.
They understand that they're taking Reid's bait and that responding to his unsubstantiated claims against Romney keeps alive the issue of Romney's refusing to release his tax returns.

Still, these GOP sources say they feel that if they do not respond to such a serious charge from such a high-ranking Democrat, it will look like a tacit admission Reid is right.
