The polls may suggest Republicans will see gains in this November’s elections, but former Democratic strategist Bob Beckel thinks they shouldn’t get too comfortable. The Five co-host mysteriously signaled Democrats have something up their sleeve.
“I’ll tell you: I would expect an October surprise,” Beckel said on Thursday. “I think I know what is — I’m not going to say it, but I think I know what it is — and it is going to shake things up, and it has to do with national security.”
Beckel’s secrecy comes as President Obama faces perhaps the most significant foreign-policy challenge of his presidency, the growing threat of the Islamic State.
Since I believe this world is Satan’s domain, I would not be surprised.
if they’re sending this moron out with an idiotic message like this they must be in a panic...
I think Bob is talking out his ass again.
Does anyone actually give this media hack any serious attention?
I don’t put an October Surprise past the dems, but we all know what Beckel is full of...
Chances are 97% the GOPe are the culprits in whatever the surprise is, and 100% that TEA tried to primary those elites.
Probably has to do with Benghazi.
Chris Christie will fellate Obama on national TV.
In my opinion, democrats never cave. Beckel may be thinking of a foreign or domestic black swan event that may create a rally around the president/flag situation among voters.
Somebody is always talking about an October Surprise during an election year. The way I understand it, an October Surprise is a crisis event that was caused on purpose to manipulate the election. Knowing that, wouldn’t thinking people just observe that event and say, “Oh, that was the October Surprise,” and then just go ahead and vote the way the had planned to before the Surprise?
Why doesn’t Bob say what it is?
Beckel says he thinks he knows what it is which means he knows about something that’s no secret now. If we know about it now, it ain’t helping.
You would be correct about the Dems if this were a business-as-usual political battle. However, America is now dealing with a Marxist president. Make no mistake; he has a plan, even if he denies it. BHO will do whatever it takes to destroy capitalism and our republic.
An October surprise? You bet. Will it work? Probably. Everything has so far.
There is no such possible event. Any dramatis in foreign events works to the discredit of Obama. He is viewed as incompetent and incapable of responding effectively to anything of significance.
Again?
When did he ever stop?..................

Exactly!
Obama isn’t going to do anything that will be a positive benefit for the United States. There will be no October Surprise that could benefit the Rats.
Bob Butthole?
Not Again!!
You are thinking in the wrong direction. Beckel, if he’s being candid, said it would help Dems. So, I surmise that there will be a big terror related bust that the OBOZOs will display for the full effect on the election, like the Osama raid or something that is similar. Maybe that they already have the Egyptian Doctor in custody, but haven’t told anyone. Or maybe they will nuke ISIS.......ISIL..............Iceland..............whatever.................
The surprise will be if oshithead actually says muslims are the enemy.
