As election day comes ever nearer, Democrats and open-government advocates are pressing for the GOP vice presidential candidate to release her tax filings, a campaign tradition that extends at least to the post-Watergate era.
Instead, Palin has to date declined to share the documents, becoming part of an ever-more-select historical group of candidates who waited until this late in a campaign year to release their tax filings.
Since 1976, every major-party presidential and vice-presidential candidate has provided that information to the public, according to an analysis by ABC News. Until Palin, only three hopefuls have held onto their tax returns this late:

Maybe Obama could show good faith by releasing his birth certificate...
Illinois State Bar application - not released (will probably show he lied about past drug use)
Where is obama’s birth certificate?”
I think it is in Kenya.
BTW: I am still waiting for Bill Clinton’s medical records......waiting ......waiting....
ABC news is trying to cover Charlie Gibson’s rear.
They are trying to justify the Gibson Inquisition.
They are right next to Obies COLB and sKerry’s 180 form ni Roves top drawer.
Wayne Root:
“Barack and I graduated from the same college, on the same day, with the same major, both from lower middle class families. Except for the color of our skin we couldn't have been more alike. I had good grades at Columbia, (B+ or higher) and good LSAT (Law School admission exam) scores. Good enough, I was told by my Columbia University guidance counselor, that I could gain acceptance into virtually any law school in America, with the exception of the Ivy Leagues (Harvard, Yale, Columbia). “Don't even bother to apply to your favorite choice Harvard- you just don't have the grades,” I was told. And, you know something, I accepted the fact that my grades weren't good enough, and that more qualified applicants should attend those schools.
Yet, Barack was accepted to Harvard Law School. Was it because of his grades, test scores, and college record? Or, was it because of the color of his skin? I think inquiring minds (and voters) have a right to know. My life (and grades) at Columbia are an open book. They are available for everyone to see. But, newspaper after newspaper has told me that Obama’s campaign refuses to release his college transcripts. Why? What has he got to hide? That same Obama campaign never hesitates to mention in every media story that Barack graduated Harvard Law School with Law Review honors. But never even a mention of his Columbia undergraduate record. Why?”
Sounds like ABC is now taking orders from Obama for their stories.
Well Duhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only one I would quibble about is the U. of Chicago scholarly writings. Lecturers are normally there to only teach and not perform research and analysis. However, a good lecturer or adjunct professor will be an expert in his or her field and can be invaluable to a university. Imagine taking an organizational behavior course from Jack Welsch or learning IT structure from someone at Sun or Microsoft, etc.
Sooo, there should be some cases or even friend of the court briefs from his time as a community organizer that would show the type of work he did (if indeed that is part of the job of a lawyer trying to help the poor).
Why anyone even cares what the hell they say anymore is beyond me.
vaudine
Hey, ABC....................”UP YOURS”!!!!d
Kinda of a Captain Obvious statement huh?
It does seem to me that since the infamous interview, they have went harder at her than the others.... if that’s possible.
Sorry been a long boring night, when I saw that statement or comment. I was unable to resist.
Seiously I know that networks will never be tough on democrats only repubs.
Mrs Palin represents everything the libs abhorr, Christian values, strong family values, morals.
In addition she is articulate, which neither of her opponents can claim.
Since neither dem Pres or VP nominee can match her in a debate, they send the lawyers and lapdogs to try and destroy her.
Every hit piece PO’s another American, who will likely vote for McCain/Palin to stick it to elitist dems
You said exactly what I've been thinking for months!
If McCain wins, these hyenas should be barred from the White House!
Too bad the press isn’t as interested in Rangel’s tax return. Or Freddie May and Fannie Mac’s booking “errors”...
