So what? Is she running for President now? Is there a different standard that we hold Presidential candidates, Senators, Congressmen, Mayors, and Dog Catchers? See what the public thinks about Mitt's refusal to disclose his assets. That's what's going to count. Conventional wisdom is that Joe Sixpack is pissed at Wall Street players who are sending jobs overseas. There's enough stink with Mitt that he'll own that rep, unless he comes clean and discloses what he and his wife own.
What Romney owns isn't the issue in this campaign. The issue is an accountability for the current President. Does he deserve four more years or not.
Of course it's an issue. Image is everything in American politics, and Romney's image is that he's just another Wall Street scumbag predator, who sucked companies dry and sent jobs overseas. He's not going to be able to shake that until he stops talking out both sides of his mouth, and comes clean.
Romney isn't going to win, and as usual, the wingnuts who are sucking his ass now will claim it's because he wasn't conservative enough.
The image you described is one held by lefties, who won't be swayed from their opinion no matter what. Hell, the morons voted for Kerry, even though he earned hardly a dime of his vast fortune. It's an issue because romney is a rich republican. That's what makes you monkeyfucks hate him.
