Predictions for October Surprise?
How about a terror alert causing the third debate to be canceled?
I'm sure Rove & Co. would love to avoid another miserable performance.

Anyone else?

1. I hope the American people wouldn't take that.
I would be in the streets if they cancelled the third debate.

2. Nah, the fluffers are saying Bush did better last night
and that should make him supremely confident going to the slaughter on Wednesday night, when domestic issues will be the topic.

The October Surprise was meant to be bin Laden, which was the quid pro quo with Pakistan for letting them off the hook for nuclear proliferation.

If Pakistan fails to cough him up, I have no idea what they'll do.

5. Yeah, he did better as in striking out
on four pitches instead of three.

7. I'm more worried about the November surprise.
As in "stealing the election" again.

8. McCain/Guliani take Cheney's place. Or a "terrorist attack".

9. well, it seems rove made his anti-kerry october surprise/s threat
34 days before november 2nd, therefore, perhaps one of them was the anti-kerry documentary that came out at about that time. do you think so? heard they also had anti-edwards october surprise/s, as well.

10. uh, it's pretty easy

Karl Rove is basically about PR tricks that 'hook' the gullible sorts.

So it's the 'video' about Kerry and Iraq questions, the Sinclair agitpropomentary, and more of the same kinds of things. More swift boat people and other pod people will show up- I don't know whether more Massachusetts Republican politicians want to be led like sheep to the slaughter (of their standing on their home turf), but they'll get rolled out to the extent they can be cajolled to.

I don't know whether it will make any difference. We always have Robin Lowman Garner if they go utterly beyond the pale.

Last guys don't finish nice.
