I'm not sure what this will accomplish but it will be interesting.

The October surprise should be that the election was brought forward from November to October 25th. The entire country would rejoice that they no longer have to deal with this tedium.

I guess I'm a little curious about WHY Mitt Romney would even need to testify at his partners divorce trial...

A 2005 Boston Globe article reported that Maureen received nearly 500,000 shares of Staples stock in the divorce, but sold half before the company went public, missing out on a huge windfall.
And while another Globe article the following year described her as living an comfortable lifestyle, she demanded that her ex-husband pay her more money.

Her bitterness is palpable.

I detest Romney and look forward to pissing on the grave of his political career, but Gloria Allred is not a sympathetic figure. She has a well-deserved reputation as an attention whore. She may very well be an excellent attorney for her individual clients but I don't see her moving very many people from the R column to the D column no matter what she has to offer.

A pissed off X? I have a few of those. Show me something legit... besides Gloria doing her attention whoring deal

dr_blasto: Why would anyone care if Romney testified in someone else's divorce? I don't see how it would make a difference unless he said he was banging boys in the DR with Rush and the father while doing blow. Somehow I don't thing that scenario is in these documents.

Mental image aside, this would change zeeero votes.

Republicans know Romney is a piece of shiat. They. Just. Don't. Care.

ManateeGag: attention whore want attention? shocking.

she and Donald trump should get married and have little attention whore babies.

Trump's already got attention whore babies.

hillbillypharmacist: I can't see how Romney's testimony about Tom Stemberg's qualities as a father would be damaging to Romney. Unless he slipped in there, "Tom Stemberg is a good father. I can say for certain that Mr. Stemberg doesn't posess any of those qualities I possess, namely, I'm an unctuous, soulless mirror of whatever the voters want."

I'm the biological father of one of his sons and Tom treats him like his own. He is a great dad.

I'm not. and I don't care if Obama once thought about divorce.

It's a stupid ploy and should not be paid attention to.

That'd be a below the waterline hit, or with Romney admitting some adultery/drug use in the past 10 years. Obama would still need to actually campaign then.

A kid out of wedlock? Obama should spend the last few days of the campaign calling the Oval Office interior decorators.

A potential cannonball requiring damage control might be if Romney said something untrue, or if Romney threatened the ex-wife somehow (and that charge were substantiated and not just an allegation by ex-wife.)

Until we see those papers revealed, it's Trumpian sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Hell, I didn't know Mitt had been married before? Or did I misunderstand that crazy poorly written article?

I personally believe that the election is in a dead heat.

That said, Obama's surrogates seem to be pretty scared if they have to pretend that a 25 year old court case where he stood up for his friend is somehow damaging or even relevant.

This smells of desperation.

Alldred

Unfortunate typo.

Is it just me or do the heads seem to be not connected to or proportional to their bodies?

Eh? most of us don't think this will matter. Obama's still got Romney beat on all the issues, and his record is solid. It's only a horse race because the media has been fawning over romney since October started.

meh. Anything hyped up this much can't be that good.

I picture Allred and Trump in a bar exchanging stories about why nobody gave them any attention.

NowhereMon: I guess I'm a little curious about WHY Mitt Romney would even need to testify at his partners divorce trial...

Testify about his partner's assets, aka the value of his share of the company. Nothing unusual about that

Angry ex-wife of one of Mitt's friends has bad things to say about Mitt and her ex. This is important!

/not really

Seriously? I'm Larry Bird's uncle's wife's sister's nephew. I kid but, you know, how are we to know you're legit?

/ also, while I fully support the President, I find this entire thing and GA deplorable. This isn't the Governor's tax returns we're talking about, this is a VERY personal matters to which he appears tangentially involved at best.

Has anyone seen Donald Trump and Gloria Alred in the same place at the same time?

I think the toupee is there to distract us, so we won't notice they're the same person. Like Superman with his glasses.

(BTW, the worst case sins, if they even exist, for Romney would probably already be out in the wild and potentially subject to .

These divorce papers -- I'm not sure if anything of use is going to be there.

It's a Rick-Roll. Sure of it.

Well, this is a pathetic attempt at relevance by both Allred and this bitter ex.

In what world have you seen people pretty scared to pretend this matters? Is the Obama from Clint Eastwood's chair shaking in his boots?

More waste of time to balance out Trump and his attention whore tactics.

Does the idea of Donald Trump's bald head make you want to....do things?

fta: Close friend: Tom Stemberg, who founded the company in 1986, is a staunch reporter of Romney

Oh, it's Daily Fail, never mind.

Queen Ann?

Do tell!

/Hey, even a dweller of the deep forests likes to hear a little gossip from time to time.

kregh99: meh. Anything hyped up this much can't be that good.

Pretty much this. The only way this will be a story is if Romney did something illegal that is substantiated in the court documents/evidence or if Romney used the Mormon church to somehow screw this woman in the divorce. I seriously doubt that either one of these things occurred.

The same goes for Trump's "Obama divorce papers." Unless POTUS kicked the crap out of Michelle, whatever happened between them was 12 years ago, and they made it through it. Most Americans will shrug their shoulders because who hasn't thought about leaving their spouse at one point in time?

And the award for least amusing non sequitor goes to you!

If everything Romney's said and done so far won't convince people not to vote for him, nothing will.

It was taken with a wider angle lense, this is common with news photographers as they don't need to focus the camera while on the move.

It smells of something. I'm going with irrelevance.

I am not seeing anything in that article that reflects poorly on RMoney. Allred did get Met Whitman's husband to self immolate, he made baseless claims accusing a former domestic worker of stealing mail (an actual crime) completely torpedoing the domestic worker's prospects for finding work ever again. Allred has already gamed this out to achieve her goals in this case. The question is: What is she playing at? Most likely it is money for her client and herself. My guess is that presently sealed testimony RMoney gave revealed that he is a dirt bad on cross and Allred will make the Ex pay through the nose to make sure that it remains sealed.

Everybody already knows Romney is a morally bankrupt, disgusting sack of greedy dog shiat, so how is anything he said back then going to change anyone's mind?

It couldn't be any worse than things he's already said publicly, then denied, then said again, then said the opposite, then got offended when you brought it up again.

Sounds like a crazy person still fighting a battle she lost 20 years ago, and I'm sure she believes whatever it is is devastating. I wouldn't put much stock in it.
