I’m pretty sure that the opportunity for the October Surprise has passed. I think that the October Surprise was that Chris Stevens and the other three men were supposed to be captured and held hostage and then Obama would calm the whole Middle East by capitulating to the demands, as laid out by Mohammed Al Zawahiri, the same demands that were issued by Osama Bin Laden before the first 9/11 attack.
That’s what the protesters in in Egypt were referring to when they chanted, we are al Osamas, Obama. Part of the demands is the release of all Islamic prisoners held by the US, including the Blind Sheik and those who are supposed to be put on trial at Gitmo this week. Obama was going to release them. Bet on it.
The only surprise that helps Obama now is something that puts a REAL scandal on Romney...not a trumped up one.
I don’t think an military action or big event helps...it might even hurt.
Yes, something along those lines. Agree.
