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:

BTW, where is uhObama's birth certificate?!
These people are STUPID.
Are they so blind with rage at Sarah, that they don’t even check on their own position before launching an attack that leaves them looking worse than their target?
They attack Palin on experience when Obama has much less.
They attack McCain on the economic decisions when Obama has none. Now they attack Sarah on her tax records when Obama has not released any information on what you listed...
YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID!
That list should be an McCain ad.
You know that the Dems are going to start this drum beat louder. And, when they do, the McCain team should outline that list you put there, Zakeet.
[Narrator Voice]So, Barrack Obama is complaining about Governor Palin’s tax records. What’s fair is fair, right?
Let’s look at all of the items Barrack Obama has released:
1. Occidental College records — Not released
2. Columbia College records — Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper — “Not available”
4. Harvard College records — Not released
5. Selective Service Registration — Not released
6. Medical records — Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule — “not available”
8. Law practice client list — Not released
9. Harvard Law Review articles published — NONE WRITTEN
10. University of Chicago scholarly articles — NONE WRITTEN
11. Your Record of baptism– Not released or “not available”
12. Your Illinois State Senate records–”not available”
Not even a certified copy of his birth certificate has been released.
[Insert some campaign zinger to close it out...”Do we really need...”]
That would be a good ad.
I want to see Rangels returns.
McCain and Palin do need to demand the right to record their own 'protection' footage of any interviews they give and use it in any manner they see fit. Provided they do that, giving interviews to the enemy is an essential part of the campaign because those are the only interviews a lot of swing voters are going to see.
If one exists? In Indonesia...
