Romney's failure to release all of his tax returns is somewhat politically embarrassing, so presumably he has chosen not to release them because the returns themselves are even more politically embarrassing. We've seen any number of embarrassing issues crop up when tax returns for politicians seeking elected or appointive office are released. In Romney's case, presumably he has employed any number of potentially embarrassing devices to keep his effective tax-rate below that of many middle-class voters. That alone (and who knows whether there are other things) might be reason enough for him to choose not to release them. One thing that I am certain of is that if there was nothing in the returns that could hurt him politically then he would release them.
Apply the same logic to Obama's College transcripts. Zzzzzzzzzzz... Wake me up when either Romney's Tax Return, or Obama's transcripts mean a damned thing... Other than one person paid too much, and the other is a moron in an empty suit... Respectively.
