Bankruptcy is simply having debt beyond what you can pay. A short sale would have nothing to do with it. When you sell short, you leave the deal with nothing. No profit, no cash from the sale. Also, a lender would not even approve the short sale unless they are satisfied that you are 'upside down' each month and have no savings or other assets with which to pay the mortgage.
You have to, it is a debt...it is just a secured debt...by the lien on the property.

The short answer is no. There are legal restrictions regarding when and how often you can file bankruptcy, as well as the type of bankruptcy (if any) you are eligible to file. You will likely need to be able to pay any court and legal fees involved, as well, so proceed with caution.
