Romney has NOT been vetted....

The Republicans are about to nominate someone who still has a lot of secrets and uncovered information hidden from public view. He still has not released his income tax statement. Nobody knows what he is really worth? Some estimate his worth is about $250 million dollars? Maybe it is more? Maybe it is less?

But how did he make his money? He says he helped to create over 100,000 jobs? What are the names of the businesses that created these jobs? Is he a vulture capitalist, making money off money, or is he a venture capitalist? And what is the real difference?

Romney's competitors are starting to drop by the wayside. Huntsman is due to drop out today and Rick Perry cannot be far behind. That would leave Gingrich, Santorum, and Paul still in the race. So long as the field is divided in such a way, Romney will continue to receive a plurality of the vote. But what happens if all the conservative votes or independent votes go to one opponent? Would Romney be able to get 50%? So far, he has not been able to crack 40%.

Of course, when Romney is running against Obama in the general, the Republicans will say that all these charges have already been vetted and explored and nothing was discovered. As we can see, that is not true. And that is good for President Obama and the Democrats.

...we can ask for his birth certificate? His father was born in Mexico, and moved back to the US 30 years before Willard was born. But facts like that have never really mattered anyway.

Bring on his birth certificate, tax returns, and browser history!
