1. The Obama Campaign wants taxes and Bain minutes.....

2. Good

The Obama campaign is challenging Mitt Romney to release more information about his taxes and time at Bain Capital in order to put to bed questions raised by SEC filings regarding his role at the company.

“If the SEC filings aren’t accurate, then prove it,” Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter told reporters on Thursday. “If he wasn’t investing millions of dollars in shell corporations, tax havens, Swiss bank accounts overseas to gain a tax advantage, then prove it. Prove it by releasing your tax returns.”

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. Good

[Marr]

3. He's a weak, deeply flawed candidate-- BUT...

he has a massive pile of money and a sympathetic media (which is owned by the same people giving him the money, of course).

[senseandsensibility]

4. CNN even admitted that he flubbed their interview

It goes without saying that the interview was soft, but they were not able to spin it when it was over. The coverage I saw a few minutes ago admitted that he did not do a good job, but of course they said he would improve and should do more interviews. I like the way they act as his coach and give him advice. Still, it was an improvement over yesterday when John King and David Gergen both stated flatly that there was nothing to the story at all

[flamingdem]

6. They appear to want him to be Reagan incarnate nt

[msanthrope]

7. He looked surprised, shocked, even, to be questioned. Sweating.

He couldn't even take a stand on the Olympic uniforms being made in America.....

[senseandsensibility]

8. Wow.

He couldn't take a stand on that? I have ZERO expectations for the guy, but wow.

[msanthrope]

9. I'm betting he knew he was being set up for the inevitable question of where the uniforms for the

Utah Olympics came from....

[jeff47]

17. The answer: Burma

[msanthrope]

18. Yep. nt

[senseandsensibility]

20. Well, that explains that.

Not that I'm surprised.

[XemaSab]

22. I KNOW!

At the very least he could have given some sort of waffling "It's very disappointing that the US Olympic uniforms weren't made here in the United States by American workers. Hopefully some resolution can be reached on this issue before the games."

You know, a non-answer answer.

[randome]

5. I'm not sure about 'miserably'.

But he did not put the story/ies to rest. The attacks will continue until morale improves!

[msanthrope]

10. They are going to make him limp into the convention, where he can face a Ron Paul rebellion. nt

[randome]

11. Which would be kind of like watching Dr. Doom fight Dr. Octopus.

You wouldn't know who to root for but you hope no one is left standing when it's over.

[msanthrope]

12. We may get Paul Ryan as the VP choice...and that would be awesome. nt

[progressivebydesign]

21. that's who i'm putting my money on...

it would be a piece of cake to expose him and his anti-senior budget fantasies.

[SlipperySlope]

24. I know exactly who I would root for.

I would be 100% rooting for Ron Paul.

Can you imagine the absolute chaos it would cause in the Republican party if Romney walked into the convention as the "heir apparent", but Ron Paul walked out the actual nominee? I would happily *pay* money to see that happen. It would make their entire party look like a bunch of disorganized clowns.

[zeemike]

13. Not one of those interviews asked him about the evidence

That he did not leave Bain....it was all about how Obama should apologize.
Why am I not surprised?

[msanthrope]

14. No--NBC asked about the SEC filings, and he blew them off. Which is fine....

you don't mitigate SEC filings.

[XemaSab]

23. You should read the whole transcript for the CBS interview

15. Thank you for gathering these.

Only saw NBC's report. Appreciate the links!
