Stop guessing! We'll know the Oct Surprise when they drop it!
Believe me, it isn't Pat Robertson, it isn't THK, it isn't any of the stuff that dozens of posters keep posting about. The whole concept of the "October Surprise," for those too young to remember the Carter era, is to drop a bombshell on the electorate that cannot be ignored. If we have to post every ten minutes wondering whether this or that is this so-called big surprise, it obviously isn't the big surprise.

Whan Karl wants us to know what the surprise is, you can be damned sure every parrot on every cable news show and every BushCo media outlet will be squawking it so loud, there won't be any question that we've been hit.

So PLEASE...maybe the real surprise is that they don't have one (although my money would be on the capture of non-marginalized Zarqawi, whom BushCo has been going to great lengths to burn into our collective fear-domes lately).

1. yep, Zarqawi
I don't think they would be mentioning him all the time unless "they got him".

2. The October Surprise?
My guess is they'll finally show some proof that dumbya has what they believe is a brain.

Substancially small than a normal brain, but enough mass to be considered cranial filling, thereby disproving the long standing rumor than Der Furher's head is as empty as a cheap chocolate easter bunny

3. Just know its out there.
I already voted for Kerry last week.
Still, I doubt if it will help them much but don't misunderestimate the number of Chimpsters. As much as it defies logic - he has a loyal base - I just think ours is larger.
