Harry Reid Aide: Source On Romneys Taxes Is A Republican
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is keeping his story about Mitt Romneys taxes alive another day. On Thursday, an aide teased more details about the Bain Capitol investor Reid says told him Romney didnt pay taxes for 10 years. From the Huffington Post:
This person is an investor in Bain Capital, a Republican also, and somebody who has been dealing with Romneys company for a long, long time and he has direct knowledge of this, said Reid aide Jose Parra, referring to Romneys tax returns.

I'm betting it is John McCain
Edited to add...
UPDATE: 7:08 p.m. -- Parra now says he doesn't know whether Reid's source is Republican. In an email to HuffPost, he wrote:

"I do not know the party affiliation of the source, how long he invested with Bain, or his relationship to Romney beyond the fact that he was an investor with Bain Capital, as Senator Reid has previously stated."
