It would make sense to me to wait until later this afternoon to give the GOP less time to prepare their spin or denials. That's what I would do. Just before the evening news. At that time, I would send it out to every major news outlet to slobber over. They would all fight to be the first to report on it, so it would move with lightening speed.

Sure hope there is something.

1. Gloria is a feminist she may even be able to see beyond her own ego to larger concerns, so she lets it rip
2. Gloria has very little but she knows it's amazing publicity and will make her more famou$

She wouldn't want compromise her reputation with what was essentially a "no comment." If news was that she had something and didn't, I would think she would come right out and say so. Otherwise, she'd be know as the 'girl who cried wolf' and nobody would take her seriously in the future.

Could be wrong, but I hope not.

I WANNA SEE THE GOODS!!!!!!!!

he hired illegal landscapers? "Hell, I can't do that, I'm running for president" or whatever

Makes me think he HAD illegals, and then someone said 'If you run for prez, you need to get rid of them"

The way he is about bilking the tax system and squeezing every last dollar due to greed, I see him as a HUGE illegal hirerer wannabe

And, I can see Ann giving them their own bathroom like the movie The Help

all I see are RW spinning like crazy that it will be about Romney talking a Morman woman out of an abortion. But what would be the legal case if that were it? I don't think that's it. I still think it will be the maid hanky panky story with a pay off. I know they only list 5 maids on tax returns, but that is only people they hire directly. They own 5 huge mansions, and you KNOW Ann isn't scrubbing floors, they probably hire a maintainance company to keep each of them up, and that would be many, many people. Between Mitt and his 5 spawn, the possibilty of all that entitled arrogant testosterone interacting with subservient help, leaves lots of possibilities.
The other thing I wonder, is if Mark Leder (his home was location of 47% video) is always throwing fund raisers for Mitt, and also known for his sex parties....http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/nude_frolic_in_tycoon_pool_S8t8KXKG1IeGFSDtN6Xm9M
It seems unlikely the two social activities never interact. I mean really, squeeky clean milk and cookies Mormon fundraiser one week and then coke fueled sex orgies the next? And the two worlds never collide? Too much to believe.
Even if Gloria has NOTHING, just the speculation is making them nervous, poor things.
