Name your favorite October Surprise

[wtmusic]

(as in the most hypocritical, sleazy, self-serving, etc.)

One I haven't seen a lot of pub on is Michael Moore being sued for slander, libel, fraud, mattress-tag removing--charges will be 100% without merit, will be thrown out (after the election), but will receive national coverage for a few days and give pause to the braindead who can't see through it in under two seconds.

Other chestnuts:

1) OBL "caught"
2) Gas prices plummet
3) Saddam mass grave "found"
4) Planted WMDs "found"
5) Inconsequential item from Kerry's "checkered past" surfaces--more of a surprise if this doesn't happen
6) Dead rat found in bottle of Heinz ketchup

Did I miss anything?

[Fovea]

1. You forgot

Kerry campaign plane goes down in freak clear sky crash.

[Bucky]

not unless Edwards is also aboard

Li'l Johnny don't look so French. Plus they'd have wasted all that money on making Kerry look bad and unpresidential. And you know how Republicans hate to waste m--

Oh never mind.

[Bucky]

2. #1 probably, but they gotta do #4

I'm surprised their Saudi buddies haven't dropped oil prices yet. I suppose that's what the whole Venezuela thing is about. (But Chavez is still a leftist version of W, if you ask me)

3. My favorite October surprise?

"Fahrenheit 9/11" on DVD Oct. 5.

[LTR]

12. That should be in the advertising!

[wtmusic]

17. There ya go

Gonna giftwrap some for my Republican friends....

[NoPasaran]

4. The Rapture occurs

Bush* left behind to rule over seven years of tribulation.

[Junkdrawer]

5. "Did I miss anything?" -- Massive Terror Attack that "explains"...

why the electronic voting machines see Bush in a landslide when Kerry was leading in the polls.

[wtmusic]

14. Massive terror attack is a risky one

and could actually work to Kerry's benefit. Hasn't it been the GOP's mantra that the US is 'safer now'?

[Junkdrawer]

16. Ah, but remember that 50 million votes will be counted with no audit trail

and all they need is something to "explain" why the vote differs from the polls. And a terror attack provides a rationalization for the next escalation and the inevitable draft.

6. My Favorite October surprise...

is the candy I'll get on Halloween. None of those look too favoritey :)

Maybe some super duper new 'terra' threat. Maybe even cancel the election early so we can get use to the idea of our permanent dictatorship...

7. kerry caught with dead boy, edwards wears a rug, clinton gets a hummer

osama marries saddam, ronald reagan rises from the dead, bush deflects asteroid with his bare hands

[wtmusic]

15. how could I be so blind

:thumbsup:

[Pachamama]

21. Clinton gets a Hummer?

The kind you drive.....???? Or.....

:kick:

[Eurobabe]

8. fall pancake breakfast at John's in NH

ooops! wrong poll. ;)

[Triana]

9. FAKE 'terrorist' attack staged...

...Duhbya will step in a la Dudley Doright and save us all from said fake (staged) attempt and look the hero...

[buycitgo]

13. how far back from the election dare they go?

it's got to be close enough so that nobody strays from rallying around the leader, which will happen, no matter what

it's got to be no more than a few weeks before, yes?

otherwise, people will realize that, for all their talk, they DIDN't protect us AGAIN!

18. Much less surprising

would be KJI soothing his woes at news of a Kerry presidency and renewed American prestige by hiring Junior as a sex slave.

[Pabst Blue Democrat]

11. Most likely

going to be something to smear Kerry's record instead of bolster Bush's.....thats been the theme of the Bush campaign so far. They might catch Bin Laden between now and the election, but I'm beginning to think it won't be that big of a bounce. Bush will have nothing to do with his capture and hopefully someone will be quick to point that out. Not to mention that more than a few eyebrows will be raised at the more than convenient timing of the capture.

I think that the electorate is so polarized that there will be no huge bounces, surprise or no surprise. In fact, I think that the draft issue could end up being key. If 18 year old high school kids start equating a 2nd Bush term with them being drafted to go fight in the Middle East, they will get out a vote for Kerry. There's been no talk about this outside of DU for the most part.

[Blaukraut]

19. not exactly a favorite

But what if Rove and Co decide to float a rumor that Kerry's cancer has returned. It would force Kerry to deny the rumor, but the seed will have been planted, and brought back into people's minds.

[wtmusic]

20. That certainly wins in the sleazy category

but I wouldn't put it past 'em.

[Pachamama]

22. But Dimwit is a Cancer....

..which is what Americans need to be reminded of...and I don't mean his Astrological sign....
