JANESVILLE, Wis. -- Campaigning for the GOP nominee in his home state with just 100 days before the presidential election, Congressman Paul Ryan said he is confident Mitt Romney can win here in the Badger State this November.
"We haven't gone Republican on top of the ticket since 1984 but we think this time is different. We think it’s different because people in Wisconsin are tired of the direction Washington is going. They don't the president's policies have worked," Ryan told NBC News in an interview Sunday evening. They think, “this is not the uniter. This is not the hope and change. This is a man who is dividing us, who is giving us terrible economic policies, who is growing government, who is growing the debt, and that just doesn't rub right with Wisconsinites."
And the Republican National Committee Chairman predicted victory as well:
"If we win Wisconsin, I think it is lights out for Barack Obama," Chairman Reince Preibus told reporters in Waukesha.
Addressing crowds at Victory Centers throughout Wisconsin this weekend, Rep. Ryan was joined at points by Sen. Ron Johnson and the RNC Chairman, who is originally from Wisconsin. These events – complete with an official Romney bus -- were part of a big surrogate push throughout the country while Romney is overseas.
"This is a national campaign. All these battleground states, what we want to do is get the message out, President Obama's policies aren't working, we need to go a different direction and we also want to thank all our volunteers," Ryan said -- avoiding the question if this surrogate blitz is really a tryout to be Romney's vice presidential pick.
Sen. Johnson weighed in briefly on the VP speculation.
"I think Paul would do a phenomenal job as vice president. Nice thing that Gov. Romney has a lot of great choices. So I've got faith that he'll choose a good one," the senator said.
But Rep. Ryan, who earlier in the day attended the Dousman Derby Days parade and fair where he participated in the 2012 Wisconsin State Frog Jump contest, continued to avoid any talk of being on Romney's ticket.
"I don't think it does the Romney campaign any help or favors to speculate or feed the speculation on this stuff so that's why I just don't make comments about it," he said when asked if he was a 'dark horse' for Romney to select.
The Wisconsin Congressman heads to the 19th District of Florida Monday to campaign for Chauncey Goss who is running for Congress before heading back to Washington, DC for the week.

Romney's going to take the swing states, and get a surprise blue state or two as well.
The Obamamare will soon be over.
Obama will be lucky to win 10 states. He's going down like Dukakis!
Too much swamp in your neck of the woods!
Pres. Obama will win enough states to get those 270 electoral votes in November, regardless.

Correction: mlkboneundrwear
The Romney gaffe-0-machine and the whole Klown Kar Show will soon be over. Probably before Tampa especially if it is proven that Willard "MYTH"Romney is a felon. Felons can not be President.

Obama/Biden
Serious Republicant presidential contenders did not show up in 2011-2012. By picking Romney, Repugnants have basically given up on their hope of reclaming the White House in 2012. Serious GOP presidential contenders are gearing up for the 2016 election which GOP has no shot at either. 2016 belongs to another Van Buren.
Rasmussen has Obama up by 3% in Wisconsin, but with about 8% Undecided, and they usually 'break for the challenger' by about 80%, that makes it essentially equal - perhaps a slight edge to Romney.
Rasmussen also reports that Romney is ahead by 3% nationally. Since Rasmussen has been within about 1% of actual in both 2004 and 2008 (underestimating Bush in 2004 and Obama in 2008 = no bias), it looks like it will be a tough campaign for Obama.
Pigotry "Pres. Obama will win enough states to get those 270 electoral votes in November, regardless."
That will be tough. At this point in time, using Realclearpolitics.com and Likely Voter polls (which are far more accurate than Registered Voter polls) and a normal historical split of the Undecided voters, Romney is ahead with 279 - more than enough to win. This includes Wisconsin going to Obama. Also, there are another 4 states where Obama's lead is about 1% or less, but none where Romney is at that risk of falling below 270.
Romney could easily win with about 327 Electoral Votes at this time, but anything can happen, since things don't actually 'settle in place' until after the Conventions..
Beverly in Chicago " Felons can not be President."
Still stuck in the past? Even the Obama campaign has abandoned that tactic - after all of the major media outlets discredited Obama's claim.
Try something new and original - Oh, that's right - Obama doesn't HAVE any new and original talking points', so that's why you're 'stuck in the past'.
I used to think ony an American Citizen could be the President Beverly, that is until 2008.
Gee, someone must have read a different Constitution from the one I have. Mine has no reference to a lack of past crimes for the President.
Oh well, according to Roy Wilson (and the extremely unbiased Rasmussen polls) Mitt Romney's going to win in a landslide anyway.
Gee, if we just follow the Rasmussen polls, we don't even need an election, we can just have a perpetual Republican goverment.
A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why. So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility."
Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:
1. Drop-dead handsome with a genuine, and gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.
3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)
4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.
5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.
6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?
7. Represents an America of "yesterday", when people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
8. Has a family of five great sons…..and none of which have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.
9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unlikeable to Americans.
My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?
Get to really know what each candidate truly stands for!
Pigotry! If obama wins it is because he stole the election. There are too many people who have their hands in the federal bankroll. GM, federal employees, all of the new IRS hires, unions, welfare recipients, mortgage companies and all of those others who don't care if this Nation goes down. Remember Acorn...a federally funded organization original designed to get out the vote which over time became a apparatus of the Democratic party to get out the Democratic Vote. Let's not forget holder who wants to sue those states who want photo ID's to vote. What's that all about. I have to show a photo ID and I don't care if I have to. I am ligit! I can't believe liberals can look at themselves in a mirror. I hope all people vote to preserve this nation instead of their pocketbooks. The money will only be short term and we as a nation will sink fast. Thank you liberals
Mitko Pitko
Romney is obviously not a typical politician, which in this crazy, upside down World where good is bad and wrong is right seems out of place. It's easy to see what that attitude has brought upon this once great nation.
Let's hope that 'common sense' prevails in the upcoming election.
With your permission, I will save your post and repeat it on occasion.
Dream on!!! Did you see the latest General Election Polls showing Obama 49% and Romney 43%!!! Oh and Obama is shown leading Romney 6-8% in the Swing States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida!!! Keep listening to the FOXtitutes on the Faux Entertainment show to get your news!!! Oh, and did you know Paul Ryan who champions tax breaks for the millionaires had 100% of his college costs paid for by the US Taxpayers as he received Social Security Benefits at 16 years of age because his old man died!!! Better than a school loan as he didn't even have to work one day to pay it off!!!
Romney has offered few specifics about what he would do to jump start the U.S. economy (aside from cut taxes for the wealthy -- e.g, is he going to eliminate the mortgage deduction?), where he would cut the deficit (how can you cut taxes, increase defense spending and cut the deficit at the same time?), what his immigration policy is (aside from "self-deport"), what his Afghanistan policy is, and specifically what he would replace Obamacare with. They are all a secret, just like his taxes, his offshore accounts, his Olympic work, his term as governor and his time at Bain Capital. A first start would be to release his tax returns. I can't believe that the mainstream media is letting him get away with this. It is dangerous to our democratic process.
Only way he can do that is to address entitlement spending. He'd have to cut it to less than about 50% of what it is now in order to give his tax cuts and increase defense spending the way he has advertised.
Wonder how many children in the US will be homeless, how many elderly will have their nursing homes close, how many people will be hungry, how many schools will lose their head start programs all for the sake of cuts for the rich and in the name of defense.
It's time for Mitt the Vulture to release his tax returns !!!!!!!!!
Pig said,
"It's time for Mitt the Vulture to release his tax returns !!!!!!!!!"
From the Article
By Jonathan Strong, Roll Call Staff
Facing questions about why she and other top Congressional officials won't release their tax returns, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi(D-Calif.) downplayed her previous demands for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney to release his, calling the issue a distraction.
Pig, I've slapped you down about this before but seeing you can't comprehend I'll spell it out for you...
It's a over, it's a non issue, nobody cares, even the wicked witch of the west said it was a "distraction"
Let's move onto something more important like the economy, jobs, the budget, etc...
You know REAL issues!
Liberals don't want to talk about REAL issues...
I wonder why...
oh wait...
Then you would have to talk about the disaster that is the Obama adimistration!!!
Hey Maxx Power:
Is Pelosi running for President... If you want to run for president, you have to be up to higher standard, facing more media screw-U (scrutiny); because...
Power corrupts, maxx power corrupts maxxly, as a saying goes.
maxx power Here is a interesting fact for you. America is now a service based economy. This country's economy was always based on a manufacturing. We do not do that anymore. The manufacturing base is not here. This country will keep going downhill because of that. So it doesn't matter who is President with out that manufacturing base its going to be tough. Until our companies return and bring back the jobs they took away America will be in for hard times.
maxx what's Rmoneys plan to bring manufacturing jobs back to America. Remember Rmoney was or is part of the reason we in America have no manufacturing base left in America. Remember also when America lead the world in manufacturing? Is it doing that now? Hell we can't even buy a American Flag thats made in America. China makes them. What kind of joke is that?
Anyone calling themselves a "pig" has to be considered right for once in their life.
Mitt should release his tax returns just as soon as Obama releases his college transcripts, papers, and college applications.
RA: what does the one have to do with the other ?
Oh, that's right, your part of the birther group, i.e. those who can't believe a black man could get into Harvard University Law School, excel and become president of the Harvard Law Review. In other words, you are a self deluded racist. You may not accept that you are a racist, but you exemplify it every day in repeating the same tired attacks on President Obama's intelligence, birth, and abilities.
It is a sad statement for the current status of America that the 40% of the population represented by the modern Republican party still believes that blacks should be enslaved and only a white man should be in power. Whether it is using the code words socialist, communist, welfare, or food stamp president the racism comes through loud and clear.
The Republican Party is overwhelming their sheep like supporters with exactly what they want to hear. Since they can't accept the fact that a black man could go to Harvard, he must have cheated, so they demand transcripts. They can't accept a black man could be a US Citizen, so they demand to see the birth certificate. The birth certificate is given, so they demand to see a college application in order to, I don't know, prove that he wasn't a poor black child ?
When the facts don't support the world view of Republicans, the party is more than willing to supply a big lie which does support the world view of hatred they espouse. An intelligent black man can't be in the Whitehouse so he must not be a US Citizen, or intelligent.
The level to which the Republican party has chosen, consciously, to drag the United States down into the lowest point of the gutter is absolutely disgusting.
What do they have to do with each other?
One is to develop trust.
And one is to develop trust.
Duh.
Doug
When I hear people say such things as "Romney has offered few specifics" I wonder,"Why don't they know? He has a website outlining his positions."

My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?
Get to really know what each candidate truly stands for!
Romney has a lovely family and many, many grandchildren who are darling. That is no reason to elect him. He is a liar, he has hired way too many of Bush's people, and we sure don't want another war, and we sure don't want to keep giving tax cuts to the rich. The rich should pay more and we should be sure to elect more Democrats who care about all Americans and not just the republican billionaires.
Amazing arrogance on Ryan's part, I don't think Wisconsin can be bought that easily with Koch Boys money.
Obama 2012
According to the unions Walker is still Governor because of the Koch boys. Can't you fools keep your lies straight?
Liberals control $100 billion in all those 503c like the Ford Foundation, Tides, all the enviromental and have ten times the money. I will seriously spew something very distasteful if I hear another lie about the Koch brothers when Democrats have so much more weatlth. Wisconsin, Florida, Virgina, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and even some presumed Blue states will go for Romney. The mainstream medias man is going to be a one term president. He has had his chance and he failed.
What about George Soros and his billions?
Spew what you like Luke, the Democrats are telling the truth, it's the GOP who's lying.
Romney take Wisconsin?? Ha. I'll believe that when I see Gov. Walker win that recall election.....Oh, wait.
Gov.Walker did not win the recall election, he bought it and both Ryan and Walker know it. Ryan is whistling in the dark, after the Medicare plan he is history. So will Mittens be when the truth about his tax evasion comes to light.
Romney's tax returns are going to all be released in 101 days. That's a promise.
Look back at all the headlines msDNC has at anytime. 90% plus are Romney or republicans. With the failed policies of this puke of a president I guess I would not want this fake news outlet to print the real stories that affect this country and the American people like the economy, fast and furious, regulating companies to death, entitlement spending,etc,etc!
Where are those tax returns? What is Romoney hiding when the hard drives were purchased, a need to cover up? Will the Mittsiah reveal his off shore accounts? Did he seek a tax amnesty from the IRS for them? How many others were bullied by the Mittster? Why is he such a dick, I mean really?
amused,,so you mean Romney's tax returns,off shore accounts and other things you never vet when it ia a socialist libtard democrat MOOCHER , affects you more then unemployment, 1 and a half % GDP, rapeing of our military, record food stamps and welfare, national security leaks from the white house for votes or headlines, giving free pass to illegals,etc,etc? And you are so stinkin worried about Romney's tax returns! What a dink!!!!
Murph - Try not to blow a gasket, calm down. I can assure you all of these things are vetted but your Mittsiah, who BTW had no problems turning over 23 years of tax returns to McCain and was still rejected for Palin, I repeat Palin. Not a good sign, indeed! Unemployment is not on my radar screen, I've been retired for 11 years. I've read that Mitsy has promised to bring down unemployment to 6% by the end of first term, which BTW is hilarious, should he be elected. If the unemployment problem is so easy to be corrected, per Repuklicans, why would he only promise 6%. Kind of shows how easy he thinks its going to be, would you not agree? 1 1/2% increase in GDP is better than none, stop whining. Not sure what you mean by the raping of the military? I read the Pentagon is working on this problem at the military academies and hopefully this shameful practice can be stopped. Record food stamps and welfare, you forgot extended unemployment benefits as well. Do I really need to explain the safety net programs to you? Maybe, you've missed the "great recession" that took place on Dumbiyah's watch that decimated good gobs of middle class wealth, jobs galore and his rewarding the perpetrators (banks, Wall Street and a host of other bad actors too many to mention) with a bailout(not that he really had a choice, you know because of "to big to fail"). Don't you think, let me rephrase that(I don't want to assume that's possible), what's your proof that the White House is responsible for the leak(s). Now I know the Bush administration was guilty of leaks and Scooter was sent to jail, but you just cant assume without proof. Its my understanding, is that in fact, more illegals have been deported by the POTUS than by any of his predecessors. So yeah, what does Romoney have to hide and when will he produce the complete tax forms to see when and if he was granted amnesty by the IRS, not that its illegal but rather immoral and unamerican to say the least. As well as many other questions.
Did you even graduate high school?
Ruken - What difference would it make? I'm talking to cornservatives and most of my words are more than 3 letters. I'm sure that will go right over your head.
amused if your talking to conservatives, than go to fox news where someone might agree you there. Did that idea go over your head? Must have!!!
Look. The libs are so confused that they are attacking each other.
Con Rebel - Friendly fire is always a possibility in war. I take no offense from Smitty's comment. I have been guilty of doing the same. If your are perfect, "then excuse me for living!"
Willard Mitt-Wit Romney, will not win Wisconsin.
from the same smug idiot that insisted Walker would be recalled
A vote for Romney it a vote for Terror.The day after the terrorist attck.(9-11) I bought a party store.The previouse owner exsplained to me.As A Bussness owner I was a Repulican.And owning a beer store your gonna be rich.Terror is the best thing to happen for you.No one works every one has time and just enough money for beer.You go out there ans take ever democrate for every dime they are worth and when they cry they cant give more, Take it anyway.So In lue of another Trerrorisrt attack.Invest in booze.If You want to be a Republican Too.Its a good deal realy.All you have to do, Is get over killing innocent people for there money.Since your rich thats pritty insignificant.
Spoken like a true Democrat!
sounds like you injested rather than invested a lot in booze, John.
Lord why did you make libs so stupid????
I guess not a lot of money was spent trying to educate you, huh John??
Is Pelosi running for President??? LOFLMAO
The only thing Nancy Skaglosi could run for is "Miss Cialis Viagra Safety Girl" You know libs....for that rare occurance when an errection lasts longer than 4 hours....Look at a picture of Nancy!!!!
Please WI. be smarter then those spoiled rich kids (Preibus, Walker, Ryan and Johnson) think we are.
Romney can win Wisconsin and my Dangerees are falling in front of VP Cheney so he can see the real thing!!!
Romney win Wisconsin..never gonna happen. One of Romney's problems-he DOES have so many-is that he still is trying to shore up support with the GOP base. After all why would Repub;licans vote for him?(Besides that he's not Obama.) Romney himself denies ever voting for Ronald Reagan, ROmney described himself as a "progressive Massachusetts Republican"when running for Governor of Massachusetts (most GOP types call progressive Massachusetts anything communist), Governor Romney appointed Planned parenthood tothe Massachusetts Medical Review Board and he is the FOUNDING FATHER of so called "Obamacare". He actually touted that as the main reason for his 2008 presidential run.
Thats besides his refusal to release ten years-at least of his taxes. Folks that won't fly. His own Dad George said that any politician who refsues to release his tax records has something to hide This is obviously true. Just look at the ONE year he was forced to release-yes forced-during the GOP primary. Come on folks...Swiss Bank Accounts? Then we have his record as Governor of Massachsetts...he runs away from that. Bain, well that's a never ending and changing story. The documents that Mitt DID sign with his own hand and his swoern testimony to Massachusetts ballot commission contradict everything he has said about Bain. The stories just keep changing. He also has changed positions on every issue over the past twenty years so many times he's like a spinning top. You never know were's gonning to stop next. I know President Obama has problems, but at least he is usually consistent on issues. Romney just can't be counted on or trusted. I wonder if he even knows what he thinks. All of this on top of the fact that he looks like he'll recoil when ever having to come in contact with a average person.
The liberal Horde is being beaten back
left-wingers are such silly little crybabies!! lol you say Romney wont win because some repubs only want him because hes not obama? that's enough for me; it should be enough for all Americans; obama is a failure.
ANYWAY, obama only won because he WASNT BUSH; he certainly didnt win on his record. obama never brought "change" to anyone, anywhere, EVER. AND obama PRETENDED to be middle of the road. that's how he got right-leaning Indies. he's lost that vote for some time now
To each his own opinion ... but you want to talk about "crybabies", I think the Tea Baggers take that title above everyone else as was actually planned by the Koch brothers who initiated, directed and supported them, exciting them with the "more for me for nothing" mentality. Whining is the Republican standard as exemplified by Mitt Romney and several other Republican leaders. Oh, and by the way, I'm glad you seem to admit that Bush was a failure for the people (catering only to the money that supported him) but actually Obama won because he wasn't Bush, wasn't McCain and wasn't Republican who were all promising "more of the same", Bush-Cheney style, which is what the Republican / Tea Party and "the money" (their supporters and masters) want to return to now. Also you want to talk about failures (as you choose to ignore all Obama has actually accomplished) then make a list of all that the republicans have accomplished for the people, not just "the money" over the last twelve years - when you see all of the negatives you will know the real failure.
Obama didnt win because he wasnt Bush, Bush wasnt running. Are you really that dumb?
bodividesthepeople, the liberal horde has not begun to fight yet, Romney is dreaming if he thinks he can dismiss his past that easily. This is a political holds barred fight between O'bama and Romney. Make no mistake Romney is in for the political fight of his life. I can't wait to see O'bama cut Romney talking points to shreds in the debates.
Obama won for many reasons. One was that McCain said some crazy things that the press picked up and they were not intelligent words. Obama won because he was smart, Bush was dumb, Obama was a hard working person, Bush was a big vacationer at the Crawford Ranch, Obama wanted to get in there and solve our problems and he did his best when he was elected. Bush started the wars, Obama ended the Iraq War and will end the Afghanistan War, President Obama made sure getting Osama bin Laden was important to him and he got Osama with the Navy Seals trained and ready for that mission. President Obama has made sure to use drones to kill many of our enemies. I am a Democrat and I am glad we have killed many who wanted to harm America. We need President Obama to win reelection. We need more Democrats and any sensible republicans to be elected. We don't need more irrational people like Bachmann and the other lunatics that are republicans. We need honest people who want to work together for the good of our nation. If they aren't concerned about compromise and doing what is right we don't want them in our government.
Wisconsin is up for grabs. I think the citizens realize that the democratic agenda goes nowhere except to bankruptcy.
vote Democrat! so your cities and state can go broke like California!
I think Ryan believes that once you have conned them, you can always con them - hopefully he is wrong.
Mitt Romney is totally full of himself and as such, he lacks the humility to see and understand the needs of the people. He simply is one of the 1%ers, is committed to their interests and just expects people to accept whatever he says and to do as instructed - their simply being “pawns” to serve “the money’s’” needs. That is what he is accustom to, without ever having any care or understanding for what anything else is like. We even see him today play-acting to the different interests of multiple countries for their American loyalist’s support. To expect comprehensive and responsible policy to really benefit the people from him, is like expecting “blood from a turnip”, it just isn’t there.
I think the same could be said of Obama or any politician. They are all rich and powerful. They don't care about us. The reason I'm voting for Romney is I just don't think Obama and his advisors have any idea how to get the economy turned around. We are in uncharted waters and the least experienced business team ever is not going to cut it, I'm afraid.
Was it reasonable to think that the situation in the U.S. could have been turned around in 3 and a half years when it took 8 years to get into the situation? Revenues have to increase one way or another. What has the last 10 years of tax cuts produced?
Savant, the country needs Romney in the white house like Germany needed Adolf Hitler as Chancellor in the early 30's. Are you really that eager for a repeat of the Bush years on steroids? Today's GOP created the economic crisis we are in and you want a return to the policies that got us this pointy. O'bama is better suited to manage the economy and foreign affairs on a bad day then Romney will ever be on his best. Go ahead vote for the 21rst century version of Jefferson Davis, I will vote for the best president since Abraham Lincoln in November.
What record is Gov. Romney going to run on? He's hiding his taxes. He won't tell us what he did at Bain, and Bain won't say either. He destroyed the records for the 2002 Olympics. He destroyed the records of when he was governor of Massachusetts.
All we have is his word.
But since he's not Obama, I guess that's good enough for some of you.
Where's Alexander Butterfield when you need him? (ten points to the House of anyone but me who remembers who he was.)
Romney has a great chance to win Wisconsin. The Walker win was impressive and in my mind a shadow of things to come in that state. There are probably only a handful of states (California, Hawaii, New York, Illinois) that Romney has no chance in. I believe even Ohio is a possibility.
While the GOP fools are regurgitating the Fox talking points about 1.5 GDP, they should have been around in Bush's last year when it was a negative 8.2. That is economics republican style.
It looks like Romney is giving white people a bad name.
I am not reading the polls, I just live here in Wisconsin and Romney will lose it. I say that after voting for Walker and against the recall. It made people mad that the recall and cost of the recall was only because of whiny public employee unions. The normal people didn't want it and Obama was smart to stay away from the whole mess. Romney is a stupid A$$, think about it, wants to go to war with Iran, increase the defense budget, and cut taxes, who is stupid enough to believe that and that it will end up in a balanced budget.... Yes hope and change has been bad, but Ryan isn't much of a help. He reads one book of Ann Ryand and now he is the "ideas" man. This election will be 51% to 49%, I hope we all understand that it is going to take some give and take from both sides, maybe being an American will have to be more important than being a Republican or Democrat for a change.
Looks like these news people want to elect bama for pres again.. hardly see them point out his mis-steps!
If you don't like O'bama, spell it out, quick quips do not cut it with me, Arnew.
THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH: is that I now suspect that Romney can not meet the ten year or any other standard to release and make public his tax statements. The truth is now that Romney as many us have suspected that there are years that he paid NO taxes or certainly less than the one year he has disclosed. Those Cayman Islands, Swiss Banks and Bermuda HIDDEN tax shelters have served him well just they do for the the Drug Cartells! Romney understands that it would be too embarrassing and damaging for a millionaire to ask us intelligent thinking voters including Wisconsin that paid our taxes to vote him! However, this will make watching the Presidential debate both entertaining and more interesting!
predicting victory 98 days out is risky. The economy is the only thing going for the republicons- now we know the reason for the 180+ and counting filibusters.
