i can't see it that way. the attention has been brought and unrelentlessly pressed by the opposition - like a dog with a bone. your assumption that the release would be a one day/week story is highly unlikely! and as far as mccain, kerry, mitt's father or anyone else is concerned - they don't have a dog in this fight; so what they did is immaterial to present day.
hanging on to the tax return issue is just an opportunity for the oppositon to deflect the real issues in this election.
