by RICK KLEIN

The nation has met Barack Obama's Mitt Romney. If it's going to meet Romney's version of himself, it will happen this month, or not at all.

It was supposed to start last month, with picked-up ad spending and a foreign trip built around a choreographed Olympic moment. But the foreign trip fell flat amid distractions at every stop, and Democrats continued to break through with their assault on Romney's transparency and business record.

<...>

While Priebus is right to call out Reid for making an irresponsible claim, the fact that Republicans including Romney, himself, are forced to respond to it speaks to the need for Romney to find a fresh start in his campaign's proactive messaging.

Republicans are complaining about Democrats' campaign tactics, while Democrats are talking about a topic they much prefer to defending the Obama economy. Reid doesn't need defenders for his real message to penetrate, and Romney's refusal to release more than two years' worth of taxes keeps the issue open for exploitation.

2. My dog ate my tax returns - that's about all that's left to say

The tax returns retroactively made their way into Seamus' mouth.

3. Priebus was NOT right to call out Reid. And Priebus was NOT right to call Reid a ‘Dirty Liar’

Senator Reid only repeated what he was told by someone else. Reid has a right to do that.
Priebus crossed the line by calling Reid names.

6. W.T.F Romney has not released one complete year of taxes yet!

I am fed up with hearing Romney has released 2 years of tax-returns! Romney released one incomplete year of taxes ,The other year will supposedly be released later this year.Why is it continually being reported he has released 2 years ,And I applaud Senator Reid on calling out Romney on his 10 years of not paying taxes ,How in the world is that inappropiate by whos standards when the re-thugs have card blanch to say whatever they want ,Remember Fast & furious ,Remember the health care debate ,remember the question of whether the president is even an american ,remember the voter I.D laws that have no merrit whats so ever ,I can go on all night and tomorrow about what is inappropiate to say W.T.F President Obama has his work cut out for him and at least Senator Reed has the balls to stand up and call Romney out on the Senate floor Bravo.Somthing even the M.S.M can not etch-a-sketch away for RMoney (con)servatives.

8. Welcome to DU, and that's a good point.

He certainly hasn't released two years, or even one: I'll believe that when I see it. He should not be given a pass on this by the press.

7. ABC's spin is soooo obvious. Reid made an "irresponsible claim". Mitt released two years of taxes.

Th first is off base. All Reid did is report what someone told him.

Romney has not yet released even one complete year of taxes, let alone two.

ABC obviously cannot be trusted.
