re: #11 Targetpractice

As noted the other day, it seems Romney decided that the damage to his campaign of refusing to release his returns was less than what would happen if he did.

What I don’t get is this: he knew that people always released returns, right? Someone in the campaign surely told him this, right? He’s not this out of the loop, is he?

This isn’t exactly an unforeseen problem handled badly (see: McCain’s laughable ‘campaign suspension’ when the economy imploded). This has been precedent for candidates for decades. Did he seriously not know that? Did he think he was above such petty normal-people rules?
