Republicans Bracing For 'October Surprise' As Gloria Allred 'Prepares For Romney Revelation' By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 20 October 2012

Revelation: Republicans are bracing for Gloria Allred, pictured, to make a potentially damaging revelation about Mitt Romney, just weeks before the election

Republicans are bracing themselves for Gloria Allred to make a potentially damaging revelation about Mitt Romney, just weeks before the election.

The pro-President Obama lawyer is rumoured to be preparing for her so-called 'October surprise' in which she will strike the Republican presidential hopeful's chances by unearthing some sort of secret or scandal.

Ms Allred has refused to comment on the rumours, which first surfaced in a tweet by the Drudge Report's Matt Drudge on Thursday. 'Here she comes. Hearing Gloria Allred out there again, about to make a move. After all, it's her time of the campaign. Team O at the ready!!' Mr Drudge wrote on Twitter.

According to RadarOnline.com, Ms Allred launched a last minute strike on GOP Meg Whitman's campaign for governor of California by representing a disgruntled former housekeeper. In the pivotal moments of the campaign, the lawyer wheeled out Nicky Diaz who alleged that she was fired by the Whitman family because she was an illegal immigrant.

Whitman went on to lose the election to Democrat Jerry Brown. Ms Allred refused to confirm or deny the rumours regarding Governor Romney.

In this case, I don’t think so. If you read the case, the woman would have likely died and she had other children who needed her alive. If I had the condition she did, I would have had the abortion. She had a large blood clot in her abdomen and the doctor thought it would kill her unless she aborted. There are rare cases where the mother is almost certain to die unless the fetus is aborted.

It doesn’t have to be true only scandalous. These are Dems after all when has truth ever mattered to them?

I saw over on DU that they’re all excited about this story and think it’s her “surprise”<

I believe you might be right on this one...just read the entire thing - Allred jumps at this stuff and uses these women to hang others.

Synopsis: Mitt pulls for unborn child, while mother has medical issues, she is advised to and wants to terminate - claims Mitt was uncaring and insisted she continue the pregnancy - anyway.

The story quotes a close friend who knows Mitt and this person happens to be a 'Social Democrat' - smells like hit piece to me and may backfire.

It might get Obama's base riled up, but I think it will show he is more pro-life than not.

She said, he said...junk.

Good to see you posting, USC.

I've been around, though not as much as I was "back in the day." Work, family, my amateur radio hobby keep me busy.

My experience is that people who actually do have last-minute-surprise caliber stuff on their opponents don’t brag about it beforehand, they just drop in into the news. Also, they actually do it at, you know, the last minute. Gloria is blowing smoke out her behind.

Remember with Whitman it was a woman who worked for her who was an illegal alien which she fired when she discovered her status. Whitman had done nothing wrong but the charges the way Allrad made them and a helpful press did a real job on Whitman at the last minute.

...They dont have to be true, just scandalous. Making outrageous claims and allegations a week before the election would get national coverage, wall-to-wall 24/7. All she has to do is make them.

Notice they are seem to be feminists, this is nothing new because there are always a few feminists in any church. When they leave the church they join up with feminist groups (usually taxpayer funded).

I can’t find it now.. but DU had some story today regarding Mitt having a Michigan police officers uniform in his college dorm room, and telling people he’d wear it and make traffic stops.

Of course... he might have had a halloween costume, and sarcastically told someone “yup, I wear it out and arrest people.”

I read the article to page 6 then I became bored.

This happened in 1983. That’s 30 years ago. How popular were abortions back then? 2012 standards cannot be used for 1983.

Women are such a problem. They become members of a church and then want to change the rules. Those women had the choice of abiding by the rules, or leave. Romney was only doing his “job” according to the church guidelines.

I don’t see anything wrong with what Romney did. Nothing.
His behaviour is the same as some non LDS Pastors.

We have tapes of Rev. Wright railing about how America’s chickens have come home to roost along with Jesus being a Black man and the Romans being garlic nosed Italians. That should go over well with the Italian voters.

Play those glorious tapes and remind people that Obama listened to this commie witch doctor for twenty years. McCain held back because he was afraid to offend the ONE.

The people who knew Barack Obama Senior at colege say that they never saw him with Ann Dunham, Obama’ mother. Hmmm.

Strictly supposition. I met the woman way back when ~ she was lucky to find anybody.
