Romney supporters are scared to death of another last minute Rathergate or NY Times document dump

From Romney’s comments regarding zer0’s investments and pension relative to Romney’s own, those arguments are already countered and Romney has let them know he knows enough to blunt any accusations on that score.

There just _might_ be *something* on one of the Romney boys, but it would really look bad to drag a kid into this, especially considering zer0’s own youthful indiscretions and the rumors of his sexual preferences.

I think it will turn out to be a case of “That all you got?”.

Has an “October Surprise” ever been effectively executed against a Republican candidate for President, or is it just a bogey-man created by defeatists?

Oh, heck yeah. In 2008 the October surprise was McCain't endorsing Barack Hussein Slobama.
