Democratic Governors Ask Why Mitt Romney Won’t ‘Follow His Daddy’



WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — The Democratic governors who gathered in this colonial village on Friday to meet with their fellow state chief executives evidently came armed with their Obama campaign talking points.

“I’ve never run for president, my daddy’s never run for president,” Gov. Peter Shumlin, D-Vt., said. “But if my daddy did run for president and I ran for president, I’d do what my daddy did.”

Shumlin was teeing off on Mitt Romney’s refusal to release more than one year of his tax returns so far during the election cycle.

“Mitt’s daddy released eleven years of tax returns,” the Vermont Democrat said of the disclosure made by George Romney during his 1968 presidential run. “We can’t figure out why Mitt can’t follow his daddy.”
