Wednesday would be good. However, who knows if they are actually sitting on those or if it is a baseless rumor.

So, hopefully someone DOES have them and we can see them soon, anytime after Tuesday.

We all know that no matter how poorly Mitt does with respect to foreign policy on Monday the "liberal" MSM will call it a draw at the least. Unless Obama crosses the stage and thumps Mitt with a good right hook.

So I think if they have the taxes then they are smart to keep them until after the last debate and then spring them on the world where it will wipe the debate off the front pages of print and online media.

Something to do with Mittens. Republicans are in a tizzie. I would have thought she would have used it already.

when she introduced a client who claimed sexual harassment. I wonder if she has another client with a story about sexual harassment or workplace discrimination either against Romney or against Ryan. Those are the types of issues she usually handles.

Other DUers have been speculating about what she might have, if anything:

If Gloria has a strong case against Romney regarding his treatment of women, it could be a death blow to his campaign even greater than the non-payment of taxes.

And I do not think Harry Reid would have been so aggressive with his accusations had they not had some specific evidence.

he would use the IRS to retaliate against his so called enemies. Been there and done that. It wasn't fun,especially when you find out what the hell just happened and why.

Somebody has the real story,the load of crap by some hacker just smells,and,Larry Flynnt has yet to pay the bounty. Hope someone posts the real docs. That would be killer. It alone would wipe out the Puks for decades,better than Watergate.

Amnesty for tax cheats on foreign account income, and now we find out from Greg Palast that Romney made multi-millions from the auto bail-out which also would have been 2009.

But even if all that's true, all we would hear from the Lie-beral media is that Harry Reid is a liar.

<huge sigh>
