This one is less obvious, but not that much less. So it will be 90% to 10%

clearly Romeny is hiding something and that message is coming through clearly that most voters can understand. The Bain thing is a bit too complicated for many folks to comprehend but hiding stuff in tax returns that something even the low info voters get.

What are the militia types going to think about him evading his taxes? I guess they like that kind of thing.

While most Americans may not understand exactly what Bain Capital does they do understand what outsourcing does and they also know that if you are a CEO you are in a leadership role. When it becomes clear to people that Mitt Romney was the CEO during a time he has repeatedly claimed to have had no management role it is going to be an obvious lie to all but those who live in total denial.

and the added benefit is that many Republicans agree he should release them so it doesnt look like an Obama campaign generated controversy. Clearly there is something ugly in those returns so keep the pressure on him to release them. This can be an issue all the way to November if he refuses.

I doubt that Ed has the full story. And if he does, he'd better be prepared to back it up with court-evidence quality documentation.
