Something many seem to be missing about Gloria Allred.

[pnwmom]

It's the Boston Globe that's suing to get the court records unsealed -- not Allred. Allred is in there representing one of the people discussed in the records.

For all we know, she's representing someone who wants to keep his or her private records private . . .

I hope that isn't the case, but it's certainly possible.

[DollarBillHines]

1. I get it about the Globe, but doubt that Ms Allred is trying to keep anything under wraps.

She operates best in the light.

I'm thinking something about a Romney male and paternity.

3. I am thinking Romney and pedophiles

It is no secret that the LDS church is just as heavily involved in this type of scandal as the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts. Romney may have given testimony to support a pedophile in which case the records had to be sealed because of the child involved. If said child is now of age, those records might be unsealed. Just saying.

7. That would be insane

Interesting idea but I think an illegitimate kid that he refused to support seems more likely.

[leftofcool]

12. Wouldn't that have come out when he ran for Governor?

[Doctor Jack]

17. You never know

It may be easier to keep things on the DL if you are only running for governor compared to president of the united states.

Whatever the story is, it sounds like it could be intriguing. Or it could be something stupid, like Romney has $25 in unpaid school fees for his kids from 1986. Time will tell.

[DrToast]

22. Yup. Remember Bush's DUI?

People dig deeper when you run for President.

[Doctor Jack]

23. You're right, that didn't come up when he ran for governor of texas

But it did in the presidential election. It wiped out a large lead he had in the final few weeks and caused him to lose the popular vote (and almost certainly the electoral vote)

[Indpndnt]

20. Like Ah-nold's son with his maid?

The boy was six when Schwarzenegger ran for Governor, but his paternity only came to light last year.

[gateley]

2. Good point. Although I would think someone who hired her

might want some of the accompanying publicity that she seems to attract. But you may be right.

[graham4anything]

4. What case was it? Does anyone know?

[Indpndnt]

21. Not yet.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. Very true.

Ms. Allred did say she would neither confirm nor deny she was working on a case involving an October surprise for Romney.

Either way, it doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of the election. It's just something for us to chat about, really.

[aletier_v]

6. It would certainly explain why he looked so ill last night

[Doctor Jack]

8. To be fair, he was getting his ass kicked at the time

He knows nothing about foreign policy. He doesn't even know basic geography, let alone military and foreign affairs.

[faithfulcitizen]

10. LOL :D

[aletier_v]

13. I was referring to the pedophile association on DailyKos

I have my own much lesser story I could tell.

The Mormons are highly secretive about many things but, thanks to the Internet, you can dredge up a great deal of information and find associations. I wouldn't be at all surprised if DailyKos is on the right track.

[Doctor Jack]

15. I hear ya

Could have something to do with this or it could be as simple as he was losing the debate and felt like he was in over his head with the questions being asked. Until we know what is going on here, I am just going to assume he was nauseous from the brutal ass kicking that Obama was sending his way.

[leftofcool]

16. Bingo!

[LisaL]

9. No way.

If somebody wanted to keep something sealed, I fail to see why they would hire Allred.
Not her type of case at all.

[Doctor Jack]

14. Good point, she does hate Romney

She likely wouldn't go out of her way to help Romney or anyone that wants to keep this under wraps if it could be a negative story about Romney. She is a strong supporter of Obama. It would make no sense for her to be involved if it somehow helped Romney.

[shayes51]

11. I have to admit that I'm curious.

[Doctor Jack]

18. Does anyone have any links talking about Romney being linked to sex abuse scandals?

Or is that just speculation on the part of the people here?

[LuckyStrykes]

19. Whatever it is, I hope it is newsworthy enough

...to divert Mitt from his from his five fingers. Even if they are not able to unseal his testimony, let the press pick over the fumes of whatever he is hiding for a couple of days.

Strange that he is not doing any interviews with the media for awhile...
