How many primaries/caucuses come before April 15th?
And why did Hillary choose that date to supposedly release her tax records from *previous* years?

Her reasoning eludes me. Could it be that there might be something there that she doesn't want voters to know,
until after they've cast their votes?

Well, no - that wouldn't be right. Can't be that! Must just be because... well, because...

Hmm.

1. You don't really think you are going to see them on April 15, do you?
I suppose 4/15 was the date she chose in order to confuse most of the public as though it was the 2007 tax returns that were being sought. In reality, she probably picked that date as the date she could delay the longest and get the most primaries under her belt without discussing it again.

I'm sure she knows she'll take some heat when she doesn't release them on 4/15 but she'll come up with some excuse for certain to at least delay it beyond the PA primary.

5. That mirrors my thinking on this issue. It's just a smokescreen, not a solid date.
But the more she delays, the more certain I am that they have things to hide and that they have ties
to money interests that will not sit well with the American people.

Hillary: the new Bush-lite?

2. You'd think
all good honest dems would want this done...after all, the repubs will see it all.

I've seen good dems, for years, cry and whine over Bush's secrecy and lack of transparency. Surely, they want their candidate to be different.
