Mitt Romney's Path to 270 Electoral Votes - An October Surprise Trap for Democrats?

Re: Mitt Romney's Path to 270 Electoral Votes - An October Surprise Trap for Democrat

Remember the birther movement? Remember how Obama kept his mouth shut, and then, when enough Republicans were sucked into saying that Obama needed to show his birth certificate, he then showed it and made them look silly?

Enter Mitt Romney. Today, Nancy Pelosi joined Harry Reid in putting the pressure on Mitt Romney to show his tax Returns, and more Democrats are piling on every day. And the only thing Romney has to do to end it all is produce the returns, and the whole flap goes away. By not releasing his returns, he is getting hammered, and today, Rasmussen has Obama ahead for the first time in a Rasmussen poll, while other pollsters are beginning to show a bigger lead for Obama. Romney is on the ropes, and may soon be toast........ Or is he?

Mitt Romney is not dumb. He made a career out of playing percentages, and made millions doing it. What better way to push the percentages in this election so far in his favor that Obama is handily beaten than to keep taking the hits, as more Democrats pile on him. Then, in October, as the Democratic vitriol comes to a crescendo, he simply produces his tax returns, and those returns show nothing out of the ordinary. If this happens, the Democrats will look just as silly as the birthers who attacked Obama, some of who attacked him right on the floor of Congress.

If this particular scenario plays out, then it's lights out for Barack Obama, and lights out for Democratic control of the Senate. In this scenario, the GOP will have the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. They will also have the Supreme Court, as it will be more Conservatives replacing Liberals on the bench.

Maybe Mitt Romney read Obama's political play book, and liked a couple of the plays he saw in there so much that he is running those plays himself. Of course, this is just sheer speculation, but why would Mitt Romney commit political suicide? I don't think he would or that he is. He has something up his sleeve over the tax return issue, and I bet that there is a fair to middling chance that I have nailed what it is.

Or maybe I am just ****ing crazy. LOL.

Discussion?
You're not crazy. This is a fantastic insight. Democrats build entire campaigns on smearing the opposition. What better way to blow their house of cards down than letting them work themselves into a frenzy over nothing?
