Romney has strong scores and little downside to making them public. Without demanding or even asking that Obama release his own records, the press and public would expect equal disclosure from this "most transparent" administration ever. Obama can't comply and this leaves would leave lingering questions.
It'd likely be a big part of a day or two news cycle. I don't see any downside.
Romney blew the tax return issue out of the water and proved Reid a liar. Seems like this would be a smart follow up.
Thoughts?
We would however like to see his college applications to see if he applied as a foreign citizen student rather then an American.
Or a Native American.
It would be an excellent idea for Romney to release his school records...it puts Obama on the defensive to release his
The only problem is that the GOP, GOP Talk Radio, and GOP Media have very Pro-Obama in regard to Obama releasing things, especially his real Hawaii Birth Certificate (if he has one). This Obama Supporter nonsense on the BC and college records hurts the Romney campaign because they are put on the spot to release things...while Obama is not forced to. GOP Media have given Obama plenty of cover on this issue
If Romney loses this election...the first people to hold responsible are the ones who refused to push Obama to release Birth Cert/School Records/Passport, etc.
I suggested this a couple of weeks back. No one paid any attention to my idea that Romney should call a major press conference and release his records with great fanfare.
He could say he has been accused of not having the resume he claims and that, in order to put it at rest, he is releasing his transcripts. “The People have a right to know about its leaders.” etc.
If only Eastwood was speaking at that event.
Lol, and I was about to say I have to stop saying The Disaster never took an Economics course. Then I realized you had me.
I agree. If Romney released his transcripts, the corrupt media would brand him a moron if his grades were less than stellar, and an elitist overachiever if they were good. And they would demand absolutely nothing from Obama.

The guy has two graduate degrees from Harvard. I don’t think anyone questions his brain capacity.
Rush and Palin would be good....Levin would be EXCELLENT. But Hannity? Please, no. He would parrot his little memorized catchphrases and then be at a loss to think of anything else. This past week, I heard him chirp, "Republicans want dirty air and water and want to push Grandma off the cliff" FOUR times.....once when I happened to turn him on in the car for two seconds, again that night on TV, and twice the next night in the same segment.
Romney should not offer his transcripts unasked. That would be an obvious gambit designed to embarrass Obama and would backfire. However, it would be great if someone would ask Romney to release them, at which point Romney should do so.

The candidates should list the schools that they are providing transcripts for prior to the debate. That way we will know if they aren't willing to release them for all schools.
Otherwise you'll never see Obama’s.
Mitt Romney was a Baker Scholar at Harvard Business School which means he finished in the top 5% of his MBA class.
IIRC, Romney also graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School.
Doubly impressive is the fact that Romney completed both a Harvard MBA and a Juris Doctor degree in just four years.
His undergraduate grades at BYU were probably close to being all A’s.
And now for something completely different:
We all know about Obama’s penchant for ice cream. Barry just LOVES his ice cream. He’s almost like an addict who, having tasted the best ice cream in the world, is forever seeking out a reasonable facsimile of that first best ice cream cone. Kinda like that first kiss...or something.
For extra credit: What city is world renown for having ice cream street vendors who serve up the BEST ice cream on the planet earth?
Anyone?...Bueller?...Anyone?
Answer: Moscow, Russia.
Very Good! Well done! LOL
and his grandchildren and his best friend.....
worthless releasing college grades.... I mean how old is he ?
I don’t care what he does. I’d think it suspicious if he hid them...the way Obama is doing...but I honestly wouldn’t care what his grades were.
The US electorate is not a university admissions committee.
Fake but accurate?
Huh??? Questioning someones refusal to disclose something that should have been released years ago should never be taken off the table, it should be demanded. Why would doing something that would emparrass Obama ever be held back?
