Speaker Gingrich had a good week. It was not a great week for me. We spent a lot of time talking about tax returns and the changing result in Iowa.Mitt Romney • Discussing his loss in South Carolina and revealing that he would finally release his tax forms after much goading. His dad, George, famously released his own tax returns when he ran for president in 1968. “I’m not going back to my dad’s year,” Mitt said, but he would (on Tuesday) release his 2010 return and an estimate of his 2011 taxes. We will not be happy until he tells us where his money pit is. source (via • follow)

Rick! Get a graphic designer who gets irony!

BREAKING: CNN reporting that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will endorse Mitt Romney, which is a big deal, because it wasn’t 100 percent clear he would get that endorsement.
Romney speaking now. On taking on Obama: “He’s wrong, we’re right, and this is a battle we cannot lose.” He’s not treating it like a loss.
