Should Romney be hiding or would it be better to just address Bain and hope to get past it?

What would you do if you were calling the shots for him?

I would get everything out there ASAP and hope everyone forgets about it by November.

Romney has idiots advising him so they don't know what to do.

But what would you do?

I know what I would do. I would put everything out there and hope to get past it and move on.

Luckily for us Romney's advisers aren't smart enough to figure this out.

Maybe being Friday the 13th today has them nervous?

1. I've noticed one thing today

and I have teevee on all day, the only talking heads defending Rmoney are his own campaign staff. No GOP leaders or pols are touching this pile of stinking lies. Their own candidate has become radioactive.

8. That's true, they know it's a time bomb

2. They're still trying to brazen it out

Republicans have gotten used to just puffing their chest, thrusting their chin forward, and telling Democrats and the media "it's no big deal, you want to make something out of it?", confident that the challenger will back down to avoid the appearance of partisanship or "liberal bias".

5. I remember in 1984 when Geraldine Ferarro's husband had tax and business problems and the media...

demanded she address them. She had a live press conference and stayed and answered all questions fully. I don't see Mittens doing anything like that.

6. It would be better for him just to address it frankly and honestly, unless of course there really is

something more involved such as it was his choice to willfully destroy viable companies to only benefit a few fat cats

oh, wait, I guess that is what it is about

7. He Can't...He Just Can't...

One would think that the best cure for this growing cancer is to cut out the bad parts and move along...dump all the financial baggage now and hope the short attention span corporate media will have long moved along. Any strategist would suggest this...there's too many failed candidates along the roadside not to see how this drip, drip, drip can and will be used against their candidate. If there's smoke here it can turn into a fire and one that will leave lasting damage. The clock is running on Mittens to get out from under this, but he can't and he won't.

He's spend his entire political life running from and hiding his wealth. He's ashamed of it...and he knows that if the real truth about his taxes and financial holdings are known he will verify all the worst people have felt about him all his selfish life. I'm betting we'll find out he didn't pay 13.9% taxes...he paid ZERO. We'll find out that he has more offshored than onshore and has shirked millions in taxes. We'll also learn that he's still getting checks from Bain...filtered through black-hole Swiss accounts and a Bermuda trust. Yep, the damage could get deep and putting it all out there at once would overwhelm and rock Mittens world. He can't, he won't...hopefully team Obama stays on this and bleeds this blue blood to political palookaville...
