Source: The Hill

Durbin said Romney could clear questions about his tenure at Bain "this afternoon" by releasing more tax records.

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) Sunday said GOP presidential Mitt Romney candidate is running away from his ties to private equity firm Bain Capital "like a scalded cat."

Durbin, the number two Democrat in the Senate and key ally of President Obama said Romney could clear up controversy surrounding his tenure at Bain "this afternoon" by releasing more tax information.

"We need to get down to the bottom of why…is Mitt Romney running away from his company, Bain Capital, like a scaled cat," Durbin said during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."

2. MSNBC's Chris Hayes spent much of the morning defending private equity and Bain, like yesterday.

The NAACP guest was basically speechless. The two representatives of Latino groups didn't have much to say. The retired head of the manufacturing division of Bain was not challenged during the period I watched the program. Very, very dispiriting.

I'm happy to hear others sustaining the charge. Thanks for the post!

If they wouldn't, they'd have been released already.

Romney is damned either way.

Is this great or what?! Now we will have THE picture to put next to Romney at the empty stadium. Somebody will have to do it and post it for all to see.
