+10 I like it, that right there could turn the tide.
Yeah, just like when Newt did it, it is easy to see how there is a ton of upside and almost no downside, and the timing is everything.
Pros:
-Oppo dump right in the middle of debate analysis overload for most voters. If there is something they dislike it won't receive nearly as much press or attention.
-No time for Obama team to address the contents before Romney defines it himself on a national stage. This one is huge, because any response can be made to look like playground amateur hour.
-Great rebuttal against an almost certain attack from Obama regarding lack of transparency.
-Opportunity to show that businessman, "do build that", firing up the base with buzz words.
-Obama will debate well, possibly even better than Romney, so if Romney loses the debate he could use a distraction.
Cons:
-If Romney wins the debate, it might distract taxist indies who come away thinking, "hey this Romney looks pretty good". I think he will lose or tie the debate so I don't consider this a problem.
-Provides more ammo for oppo spin. Gonna have to release at least 5 years eventually anyway tho.
