Won't it mean they believe they've got this in the bag?

I want to believe that they just can't come up with something good enough to get attention.

1. They're Going to Pull Some Damn Thing for Certain
Only wish I knew exactly what it was. Then we could trump it.

Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 05:54 PM by sundancekid
the logical cynicism we, as americans, have learned to build up because of these terra! terra! terra! pharisees/phonies/phanatics ... you get my drift ...

on edit: remember when the oct. surprise was gonna be about another "DEVASTATING" anti-kerry film? (well, what does the rove/sinclair alliance think now?)

3. I believe Rehnquist is the October surprise.
He says he is going to be back on the bench by November 1st, but who knows.

7. No Oct Surprise...Nov/Dec/Jan YES
Who says that they have to have an OCTOBER surprise....they will wait for Nv or Dec....

this way it is not seen as a blatent ploy to win, but rather a just a ploy to not allow Kerry to take office...

- we HAD to attack Iran in late November....we are going to have to wait on installing the president
- OR this NEW ATTACK on america FORCED us to call MARTIAL LAW and we will have to wait on governement turnover...

9. Last time the Oct surprise went against Bush*
and happened the weekend before the election.

It's not handwringing, it's preparation.

10. I think the "missing explosives report" might be it...
Combine the leak of it with a detonation of a device of mysterious origin just days before the election and the implication will be made that terrorists have placed the country under attack (again). The terra terra terra alert level will be raised to red and everyone will overwhelmingly be scared into voting for *.

As for the early votes, they'll go into the shredder.
