GOP prods Romney on tax returns

By Alexander Bolton - 07/17/12 08:38 PM ET

<snip>“It’s probably more preferable in answering some of the questions, but that’s a decision he has to make,” said Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine). “It’s unfortunate that, frankly, we’re not in a debate about the state of the economy.

“If it becomes an issue that he can’t move beyond in his own campaign, then obviously it would be important to determine to what extent he can release more,” she said.

Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) agreed, saying voters appreciate transparency.

“He has lots of advisers. The last thing he needs is a chorus of them, but transparency usually works,” he said.

He would do more damage than "relief" by selectively releasing years.

Obama has him in a corner on this one.
