Romney's camp is looking pathetic on this. Sununu went off the rails yesterday. To be fair, they did apologize after a few hours. But, for those few hours, Sununu's blathering about Obama learning how to be an American was out there for everybody to see. People keep citing the Washington Post fact checker as proof that this is the Obama camp just wildly swinging and hoping for a homerun. Not so. The Obama campaign got a solid hit on this and now Will, Frum, The National Review, Kristol, and even Rick Perry to an extent are calling for Romney to release the returns. The fact that he refuses to do so--whether true or not--creates the perception that he has something to hide. The two worse things that could be is that he either didn't pay taxes or scored big from Bain investment in outsourcing and aborted fetus disposal.
The roles have reversed. Romney is now trying to take one out of context quote and make his case about jobs from it. It rings hollow and stinks of on-the-ropes desperation. Who's swinging wildly for the fences now?
