Your guess for October Surprise!
We can make this like an office pool, or maybe some kind of bracket thing like the NCAA tourney...but I'd like to know what everyone thinks will be the GOP's "October Surprise".

Oh, and Happy Easter everyone!

8. If it's Obama: Reparations If it's Hillary: Her promise to get our troops out of Iraq asap.
That's my guess to what the GOP will attack each with.

23. Well, that's not fair at all.
Why can't they just let John McCain steal the election as scheduled?

20. It will be a September surprise, instead.
A complete economic collapse will occur this fall, leading to a declaration of marshal law, and cancellation of elections until the situation is "stabilized". Which will never happen.
