Squashed, I think Romney's campaign just died.

August 3, 2012 with 83 notes

I think Romney’s campaign just died.

So Harry Reid is saying he has a reliable source telling him that Romney has not paid taxes in ten years.

Harry Reid is the Senate Majority Leader. He’s savvy as a fox and isn’t going to make something up if it’s going to backfire the next day.
Of course, Reid’s attribution of the quote to “a reliable source” gives him potential wiggle room later.
When Harry Reid says something, it’s no longer just rumor. This doesn’t mean it’s true—it just means it’s now ripe for mainstream media attention.

At this point, Romney’s options are to either release his tax returns or … I really don’t think there’s an alternative. If Romney releases returns showing he paid the right amount of taxes, it blows up in Reid’s face. Reid looks bad. Why the heck wouldn’t Romney do it … unless there’s something serious to hide.

rationworld said: Do you think that John McCain saw Romney’s tax records when they vetted him for VP? McCain is vouching for Romney. Would he do that if he saw the returns and there was something damning in them? Maybe, but I think Reid is lying or being played.
dwineman said: I want this to be true too, but if Reid is bluffing, can’t Romney call the bluff by demanding he name the source? There’s either wiggle room or blow-up-in-face potential, can’t be both.
