...On the domestic front, he lists rumors about an Obama friendship with one, Vera Baker, that had Michelle Obama boiling, and thus has the potential for boiling over wide at any point.
Whatever the October Surprise, if such is planned by those who plan such things, my bet is that it will occur within 24 hours of Obama's paid-for 30 minute network speech scheduled for tomorrow night. You do not want additional traction from such an Obama speech, so why not dominate the news with the October Surprise?

another useless vanity
Oct. 28. Getti;ng a little late for an ‘October Surprise.’
No it isn’t.
Gore’s October surprise for Bush was on the Friday before the election.. IMO it was actually done too soon as by Tuesday it began to wear off IMO. I would of done it Sunday night and had the Monday morning shows lead off with it.
Claims of infidelity won’t effect Obama enough to derail his campaign and constitute an October Surprise. Remeber there was an allegation against Kerry. Even a letter surfaced from the girls father saying Kerry was a predator? Poof, the young lady in question gets a high paying job wwwwaaayyyy out of the country, obviously somewhere the media wasn’t able to get plane tickets to. AND her father was interviewed afterward saying what a great guy John Kerry is ...
Democrats are immune to infidelity charges. (except for that guy recently in Florida, but his was so blantant and if he hadn’t taken Foley’s seat, would have been ignored)
An October surprise would have to be good and have to be beyond imagination.
I mean look what we have so far. Rezko, Odinga, Ayers, ACORN, Khalidi, Marxism, Birth Certificate, Rev Wright, Pfleger, his wife, anti-Americanism, New Party, flawed Constitution, etc etc etc and the guy is STILL ahead in the polls.
Unless it’s something big and huge like he’s got dead bodies in a freezer in his closet it ain’t gonna make a difference.
ping to October surprise.
Not so fast. The timing would be like the VP/Palin pick the night the Dem Convention closed. Completely stole their thunder.
Who really knows what Schmidt Storm may be planned?
This guy has more of a teflon coating than slick Willie.
Where is the “vast right wing conspiracy” and the “Republican Smear machine” when you need them? Looks like the took the last six months off.
“Oct. 28. Getti;ng a little late for an ‘October Surprise.’”
NO way too late. Clinton did this to Bush sr. the Thursday before the election when Bush Sr was ahead. He sprung on the voters the Caspar Weinberger indictment........and we all know what happened next....Clinton won.
How about a tape showing he’s actually a closet conservative.
October Surprises don’t happen without the MSM running with them.
HIstorically they have been surprises against the GOP candidate.
The term was coined with the ultimate Lawrence Walsh announced that Bush’s defense secretary Caspar Weinberger was being indicted in Iran-Contra scandal - four days before the election.
Any Republican “surprise” will not get traction.
What can be predicted is a democrat “surprise” in the media against McCain/Palin.
I agree Kozman. It is just like announcing Sarah the morning after his Greek Monument speech at the DNC. Take away the good press and the talk around the water cooler.
If there is indeed a Michelle whitey tape, that would be a real bombshell.
