Will this Romney possible felony matter be discussed on the Sunday Morning chat shows? It

would be so interesting to listen to the repubs defending/criticising, etc. It would also indicate whether this story really has legs. My fear of course is that the subject will not even be mentioned. If that is the case we really need to e-mail blitz the media for their lack of news coverage. My only hope would be that HBOs marvelous new show will cover it in an upcoming episode.

I expect ALL of the Sunday talky shows to touch on theis issue ... just long enough to have the gop rep wave it off as a "distraction from (President) Obama's failed policies on jobs."

"28+ months of private sector jobs growth? Urm .... Er ... Yeah ... Um ... "

{Cut to gop attack ad ... Cue next gop apologist.}

revises his resume for personal advantage. He is a Utah resident when it is to advantage for tax savings or possible runs for political office in Utah. He is simulaneously a Massachusetts resident whe he wants to vote there (even though he had no home there) or when he wants to run for office there. He is the CEO of Bain but is not responsible for its decisions. He has money and corporations in tax havens but doesn't know anything about them. Even Bush was not this dodgy.

to be on a Sunday show is probably looking for a way out right now. They really don't know how to handle this story. Joe Scarborough and Michael Steele admitted it was very bad politically for Romney, and everyone right and left is saying "just release your tax returns and get it over with".

There might be a 48 hour flu bug going around this weekend!

That was assured by the Obama team using the word felony on the record. It can not be avoided now, at the very least it is a political story they will have to cover in some way,

I think the spin they use is that the Obama re-election is really desperate to distract the public from the (imagined) poor economic performance of the President. I wonder if they will even let a liberal onto the set. If they do then I hope they hammer on the Rmoney with this until their ears start to bleed.
