Is this Sinclair thing one of the suprises Rove mentioned?

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

Recall that Rove was quoted that they had a few suprises in store for John Kerry...I wonder if this Sinclair force-feed of GOP anti-Kerry propaganda is an example of that?

1. Not the only example.

It's just more of what they've done all the time. If they're really going for an 'October Surprise', I expect a novelty. If they can't be competent, they will at least be original.

I expect WMD stashes found next week, or Osama revealed to be in US custody on November 1st. Or Bush being granted a halo to show he is an avatar for God's Holy War. Or all three of them.

2. That would be my guess

They've got stations in key swing states. And they don't even pretend to provide balance on their stations in their news content. I'm really worried about this and hope we can get it stopped but I think it's pretty doubtful that will happen after watching what happened with the whole Nightline thing earlier this year.
