<snip>Robert Bently, the Republican Governor of Alabama, isn’t satisfied. The AP has the story: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/bain-fading-obama-romney-16777529
Pressure was building on Romney from within his own party to be more forthcoming with his finances, a day after he declared he would not release past income tax returns beyond his 2010 tax records and, before the November election, his 2011 taxes.
On the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting in Williamsburg, Alabama’s Republican governor, Robert Bentley, called on Romney to release all the documents requested of him.
“If you have things to hide, then maybe you’re doing things wrong,” Bentley said. “I think you ought to be willing to release everything to the American people.“

Looks like Bentley has joined the growing group of Republicans who Romney's campaign called bedwetters yesterday.
“We aren’t reacting to what the Obama campaign does. … We aren’t reacting to what Republican strategists do. We’ve got a plan to win. We know what it takes and that’s what we’re going to do. All of this hew and cry, you know, from the bedwetters who get to sit on the sidelines, aren’t going to affect what we’re going to do and our plan.”
Keeping tabs on the Republican Bedwetter's Club is going to be fascinating to watch next week. It almost seems like we are witnessing a giant fracture in the Republican Party -- those who are backing Romney to the bitter end regardless of what lies or potential criminality Romney has engaged in, and those who are more inclined to side with the bedwetters. The bedwetters who are calling on Romney to release all his tax returns MUST know that this is something that Romney cannot and will not do, and that what they are essentially calling for is a quick end to Romney's candidacy.
Of course, there's always the possibility that Romney's complete set of (unaltered) tax returns all the way back to 1999 will clear him of any suspicion or wrong doing, and he can get back to running a clean and principled campaign once again.
If Rush Limbaugh doesn't come out swinging in support of Romney this next week, I will take that as a sure sign that Romney's fate has already been decided, and we're just waiting for the axe to officially fall. Can't wait to find out!
In the panicked scramble to distance themselves from Romney!
That makes me wanna dance!
