Romney pressing reset after SC loss-will release his tax returns this week

Romney pressing reset after SC loss


ORMOND BEACH, Fla.—Mitt Romney is pressing reset.

After a crushing loss to Newt Gingrich in South Carolina, the former Massachusetts governor made clear Sunday that he plans to attack his chief rival's character, release his tax returns this week and try to right a campaign he acknowledged had been knocked off kilter.

"It was not a great week for me," Romney acknowledged during an interview on "Fox News Sunday."

And at a rally here, his first event in Florida after the loss to Gingrich, Romney assailed the former speaker's leadership abilities. "We're not choosing a talk show host, alright?" he said. "We're choosing a leader."

Romney now turns to Florida at what is possibly the most critical moment of his campaign, after two weeks of sustained attacks from his opponents and a series of self-inflicted errors that erased any notion that he would be able to lock up the nomination quickly by winning this state's Jan. 31 primary.

1. Does anyone seriously think they'll be real? He isn't.

2. "tax returns" is correct, but misleading

He is only releasing two returns, 2010 and 2011. Technically correct.

3. That's not the problem. The tax returns won't help him with the baggers.

They'll assume it's phony anyway.

4. Too late. He's three mistresses behind the newt.

He needs to start humping if he wants beat the newt at his own game.
