So which Friday afternoon news dump day will Romney release the tax returns?

This is not going away, and were I a GOP consultant, I would urge him to just release the documents, take his medicine and hope that the media will move on in a day or two.

So which Friday afternoon news dump day will it be? I could see it being July 27, when all eyes will be on the Olympics.

Don't know if I spelled that right.....but MSNBC has been having him on and he was the McCain campaign manager. He should know what it was Mitt showed McCain and why they stayed far away from him.

The only credible reason why Rmoney gives McCain 23 years when he's being vetted for Veep and only gives the US public one --soon two -- years is that there is something damaging there.

Some have surmised that McCain got stuck with Palin because Rmoney was damaged goods. I don't know what about Rmoney's tax forms could be worse than Palin as Veep candidate. But, just consider that last thought for a minute or two.

Meanwhile, he covers it up. We now know that there's nothing worse than covering it up. Nixon found that out. So did Bill Clinton. I think Mitt is going to find this out, too.

It will come out. There is blood in the water and the sharks will soon be circling, hungry as usual.

Mitt's first mate is going to tell him, "You need a bigger boat!"
