If so, the timing could not be better with Tuesday night's debate on foreign policy.The Obama administration has put this in place with its diplomacy. A huge reminder of its success in this field.

The article says that they do not want to start negotiations until AFTER the election, because they want to know which president they will deal with.

This is what I thought you were bringing up with the title in your subject.

I know I am very curious.

Which will come out at noon?

Gloria Allred revealing Mitt's adultery perjury or Donald Trump revealing the Obamas' marital problems?

And will they both cancel each other out?

Neither one is particularly shocking and I doubt they will have any effect.

I think Romney having committed adultery could potentially be a big deal, should it be true.

Gloria has said nothing. Matt Drudge reported on a rumor he had heard and Gloria would not confirm or deny.I doubt either one will be the bombshell that is being promised.

I'm, sure it'll only amount to publicity for Trump and his shows. The fact that this guy was taken seriously in the primaries and is getting air time by both Fox AND legitimate news outfits now is a clear indication of the sad state of our political/media system.

I hope Gloria just keeps her nose out of it. I detest that woman.

If Allred has something on Romney, I'm all for it.

The judge has delayed it so Gloria's announcement won't come until tomorrow. No word yet if Trump will delay his announcement.Love her or hate her, Gloria is a powerful attorney. Trump is a reality TV star who has made claims in the past that have turned out to be nothing more than lies.

Only the trashy Tabloids are covering this but so far, they have been accurate.

So Gloria (supposedly) is uncovering perjury, not adultery? I'll correct it in my earlier post.

I'm not sure where adultery with Romney came up?

Supposedly, Romney testified in the guy's divorce proceedings that Staples wasn't worth much in order to artificially deflate the value so he would not have to give as much to his wife. He then turned around as soon as the divorce was over and sold the stock for a fortune. Sleazy but hardly unprecedented.

The British tabloid press has more stuff on this than the American media:
Daily Mail: 'Romney has a lot of bodies in his personal and business life… and all will soon be revealed': Threats made by first wife of ex-Staples CEO at center of Allred's 'October Surprise'

That was my original post here was from the Daily Mail in the UK. With what his stand is on women it doesn't surprise me that he would throw one under the bus for a "friend".

I really don't think it will make a difference with the people who are voting for him. As far as the undecided, if they are still undecided at this point they shouldn't be allowed to vote. :)

Donald Trump.

That's the joke.

Donald Trump.

So am I reading this correctly? The "big surprise" is that he's offering 5 million to charity for the release of Obama's college records and passport?

Trump is the real world personification of an internet troll. And the same rules apply. If the media would just ignore him, he would go away and we wouldn't have to be annoyed continually annoyed by this nonsense. But just like here, trolls and train wrecks know exactly how to provoke people into paying attention.

No one on CNN or MSNBC have covered it that I have seen. I think Trump actually thought this would dominate the news cycle all day.

He should offer $5 Million to the LDS Church if Romney releases his tax returns.
