Palin won't reveal her finances until after debate - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080925/ap_on_el_pr/palin_finances - broken link)

What is she hiding NOW?!?!?!?!

"As you are well aware, the Executive Branch financial disclosure form is vastly more complex than most state disclosure forms, and requires the assemblage of a quantity and level of detail far beyond that reported previously by the governor in Alaska and therefore readily available."

Maybe she can turn them in at the same time Biden discloses his earmarks.

So what they are saying is that these forms are too complicated for Sarah Palin and she needs help?

Is this the same woman running for VP!?!?!?

I'm saying that they take time and perhaps she wants to make sure it's done correctly. I would also be willing to bet that they all get help.

I'd take that a step further and say I'll bet not a single one of them did the reports themselves. The most they did was sign them as/if necessary.

Yeah, but remember Sarah is a "real" person. Real people don't have complicated finances. Certainly any real person can do their own taxes and prepare their own financial reports. How hard can it be for a "real" person. Now if she were an elitist, I would expect her to need some help.

I don't do mine...I hire someone to do it for me and since Palin is married, they have to also include her husbands' income. Get over it, you'll see them soon enough.

I'm sure thats why 1/2 of the country goes to H&R Block to get their taxes done...all those damn elites filing their taxes.

Duh . . . I'm sure she is getting some help, just can't imagine why it would take so long if she is a "real" person.

But see, the thing is, why cant she just show them now, and not have the problem of looking as if she has something to hide.

It's only some feathers and buttons, anyway.
