Election 2012

[Lamplighter]

No idea. But I will say that having his taxes become the focus of the election will not help answer that question.

I do agree that making tax returns public is/should not be a deal-breaker.

But why make an issue of the previous 2 years, as opposed to 12 ... none at all ?
If someone is planning to run for the Presidency, or any political office,
they are certainly going to start planning their campaign at least two years before the election.
This gives plenty of time to "re-arrange" their finances,
and either hide or obscure whatever they might consider embarrassing.

Whatever ... it seems to be the precedent that McCain and Romney have set,
at least until a future candidate refuses to release any financial records at all.
