Where Are Sarah Palin's Tax Returns?
Vice Presidential Candidate Has Yet to Share Her Filings

As election day comes ever nearer, Democrats and open-government
advocates are pressing for the GOP vice presidential candidate to
release her tax filings, a campaign tradition that extends at least to
the post-Watergate era.

Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has to date declined
to share her tax returns, becoming part of an ever-more-select
historical group of candidates who waited until this late in a campaign
year to release their filings.

Since 1976, every major-party presidential and vice-presidential
candidate has provided that information to the public, according to an
analysis by ABC News. Until Palin, only three hopefuls have held onto
their tax returns this late:

In 1984, George H.W. Bush, then the Republican presidential candidate,
held onto his tax returns until Oct. 3. Bush said he had set up "the
biggest blind trust possible" to prevent conflicts of interest, and said
he was concerned releasing information on the trust's holdings would
violate its terms. He relented under pressure and after receiving
assurances from government ethics experts.



Well, Sarah *is* special. I'll bet she didn't properly report all those
juicy per-diems...
