HEY ROMNEY, IF YOU'RE DONE EMBARRASSING YOURSELF, WHERE ARE YOUR TAXES?

57. It may be October 15th.

For his 2011 returns, but that's the final filing date for the IRS, not according to the law on Presidential elections.

It may be that there is no law on publicly releasing returns, only Jimmy Carter's precedent.

In which case Romney simply won't do it... unless Anonymous does it.

Observers here at DU have speculated that Romney has been waiting for a time when his numbers have closed with President Obama so that the negative results of the release won't permanently disable his chances. But time is running out for him now, and a release two and a half weeks before the election won't be enough for him to make up from the hit he's sure to take over it.

We can safely assume that the information is highly damaging, otherwise Romney would have released the information in the summer doldrums and used his remaining time to repair the damage. His refusal suggests that the damage which will be done won't be so easily repaired.

This week might actually be the best time for Romney to do it, before his blackmailers pull the trigger and while the President's post-convention bounce is dissipating. I doubt he'll do it, though. Romney relies heavily on deception at every turn, and adding actual facts to his campaign is the last thing he wants.
