A USA Today/Gallup poll finds that 54% of Americans think Mitt Romney should release more tax returns, including nearly one-third of Republicans polled. 75% of Democrats and 53% of independents think Romney should release more tax returns.

No, I’m not talking about Mitt Romney’s father George Romney, who released 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in 1968. Nope, I’m talking about Mittens.

Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Writer Bob Warner reports, “More than 758,000 registered voters in Pennsylvania do not have photo identification cards from the state Transportation Department, putting their voting rights at risk in the November election, according to data released Tuesday by state election officials.” This is a staggering number and it represents over 9 percent of the over 8 million registered voters in Pennsylvania. The number of voters who will be disenfranchised this election is still unknown, and is not likely to ever be known, but based on this report we know over three-quarters of a million voters face the possibility of being turned away at the polls. This is just one state!

Steve Kornacki writes in Salon, “Can Mitt hide his taxes forever?” Only time will tell, but so far this issue isn’t going away as the media is buzzing and the Obama campaign continues to pound Romney to a pulp in its latest ad titled “Makes You Wonder.”

Last week President Obama said, “Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in the roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” For anyone who actually watched that entire section of Obama’s speech it was obvious the “you didn’t build that” line was referring to roads and bridges, not the business. It certainly wasn’t Obama’s most eloquent sequence of words, but there’s no mistaking the point he was making unless you are trying to distort what he said to mislead your audience. This is where Fox News comes in. They had no problem creatively editing together a few lines of Obama’s speech and then getting all their pundits to pounce all at once.

So Mittens is complaining about totally legitimate questions being raised by the Obama administration, questions surrounding his time as CEO of Bain Capital. Never mind that this is the same Mitt Romney who has hurled lie after lie about President Obama. Never mind that this is the same Mitt Romney who likes to say Obama has “no record to run on.” It is Romney who has no record to run on, at least none he is willing to acknowledge as a member of this Republican Party.

Romney has an interesting line to walk: On the one hand he wants to be seen as a “regular guy” who knows what it’s like to live as a “commoner” in America. On the other hand, he wants to be seen as the successful business leader who knows how to make money for business.

Mitt Romney has put his foot down. He has no intentions of following the example of his father and releasing many more years of tax returns. Nope, two years is all we are going to get. And if you happen to think that’s not enough, well, then you are a partisan hack.

Conservative columnist and talk show host Michael Medved writes in The Daily Beast, “Obama Must Defend His Own Record, Not Savage Romney’s Character.” I agree with Medved that Obama needs to put just as much, if not more, focus on his own record than Romney’s, but I also believe pointing out unsavory details of Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital is legitimate. Romney has chosen to run on his private sector experience and not his experience as governor of Massachusetts. Romney says he knows how the private sector works and how to create jobs because he worked in the private sector. Therefore, a razor-sharp focus on Romney’s time as the CEO of Bain Capital is very much on the table for the Obama campaign.

In the Romney candidacy, the Republican party has found the apotheosis of the fact that it now represents solely the super-rich
