Osama bin Laden pool (not poll!)

[MsMagnificent]

IF they do pull out bin Laden I think the Republicans will come out with him just 2-3 days prior to the elections.

That'll give the people a 'thriil' and in just a few days, IF any of the so-called "Liberal Media" DO care to investigate this miraculous, synchronitious apparition there won't be any time to do any real fact-finding or research.

My pool choice: October 29th, + or - 2 days.

1. 1 day. Not enough time for everyone in the country to hear about it.

But with such a close race, it'll be enough to win. They won't risk the Dems having a full day to think of a response or do a surprise of their own.

2. Nov 1 - first thing U hear when U turn on the TV

on that Monday morning. It will B such a 'miracle' that it will B all that is talked about ALL day - but then it becomes a November 'surprize'. Dems should B talking about this NOW so when it happens the seeds of doubt have begun to sprout.

5. November 1st, in Roman Catholic traditions

Is the Feast of All Saints Day -- Perfect for Fubya & his minions (in their own mind of course ;)

November 2nd is the Feast of All Souls Day -- Perfect for 'remembering the souls of those killed on 9-11 and in Afghanistan & Iraq' (but only AMERICAN Lives, of course!)

Just kicking around the spin they'd put on it... Bush being God's Chosen One, ya know. clearly there must be miracles to go with his still-but-carefully-vouched "Crusade".

3. No way.

If they had Osama ready, the Bushies wouldn't try to do all sorts of verbal acrobatics to avoid even mentioning him -- which they are still doing.

4. No bite here.

Just based on my own personal conversations with undecideds, they all seem pretty cynical about any OBL magical appearance. Too much rabbit out of hat smell.

6. I can't find the original Osama pool in search

There was a huge one a while back...I lost, I said mid to late September.

7. I'll take Oct. 29th at 5pm Eastern time

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

8. No way

don't look for OBL to be pulled out of a hat. Like some have said here, "too much rabbit out of a hat smell."

And we've made too much of a joke out of it (and so has everyone else) for it to actually work on anyone besides his base and they were ALREADY going to vote for him!

Nah, if they were going to pull him out of their asses they would have done it the DAY before the DNC! Think about it....

9. Got to be Nov. 1 (Regan holds the trademark on the October surprise)
