Clinton, McCain Refuse to Follow Obama's Lead in Releasing Tax Returns

Hillary Clinton and John McCain continue to resist calls to release copies of their tax returns, as Barack Obama did last April (blogged here).  Although both Clinton and McCain pledge to follow the traditional practice of releasing their tax returns if they become the nominee of their party, the press is putting pressure on them to follow Obama's lead in disclosing the returns so primary voters can get a fuller picture of their finances before casting their ballots:
