Give 'im Hell, Harry
Reid sticks to his guns with respect to Romney's taxes.
As others have asked:
HOLEE SHEET. WTF IS IN THOSE TAXES?
I mean, it's got to be pretty bad for R-Money to keep the records secret in the face of charges like this.
Rachel Maddow, incidentally, notes that Romney has lied about his taxes before, and used the tough-talk strategy ("put up or shut up," etc.) while doing so.
One hypothesis I've seen floated: Romney committed voter fraud in 2002, living in CA but claiming to live in his son's unfinished basement in MA. (Warning! Daily Kos link...not an actual source of information!) This would be basically the same kind of lie he told (recounted by Maddow) about his taxes while running for governor of MA. Except, y'know, for the felony...
But whatever's in there seems likely to be bad for Romney. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense that he'd refuse to release them in the face of such accusations.

Winston,
It would be irresponsible NOT to speculate:

1. Oh Nooners...I often forget how irresponsible non-speculation is...
2. Holy cats, $50 million!
Please God if you give me this I will never ask for anything ever again and you can forget about that pony, too...
My favorite is the speculation that his tax returns will show that he has not tithed his 10% to his church as he is supposed to.
Best
Jim
