Is famed women's right attorney Gloria Allred about to pull an "October surprise" on Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney?
That's the thinking, after Drudge Report founder and respected politico, Matt Drudge, tweeted 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!!"
Allred, an outspoken supporter of President Barack Obama refused to confirm, or deny, Drudge's prediction, telling RadarOnline.com: "I have no comment at this time about Mr. Drudge's Tweet. I don't discuss meetings with potential clients."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, during GOP Meg Whitman's run to become governor of California, Allred represented Nicky Diaz, a former housekeeper for the Whitman family. The housekeeper alleged that she was terminated from her employment because she was an illegal immigrant, and that could have derailed Whitman's quest to become California's first female governor. Whitman ultimately lost the election to Democrat Jerry Brown.

Allred was a delegate for President Obama at the DNC in North Carolina last summer.
Most polls show the presidential race between President Obama and Governor Romney to be in a statistical dead heat, with both candidates heavily courting the female vote.
I would just burn about 10 million copies of “Dreams From My Real Father” and hand them out. Everyone needs to see this film.
Here come the phony feminists again trying to overtake real women who can stand on their own two feet.
THIS JUST IN!!: Gloria Allred has legally changed her name to Gloria Allblue, to show her support for the president and all things Liberal.

I’m not so sure. Mitt is being attacked for his “binders of women” comment, even by obama. Why? That was a nothing mistake by Romney. Is it to setup the focus on women, his “disregard” of women, prior to whatever Allred may allege? Their focus on the “binders” faux-pas sounds like a setup....(or they are just completely out of things to attack Romney on).
Many responses to this post. I would be amazed if Romney was not ready for crap like this.
I think the later.
The only possible way to silence someone with a scandal, is if they previously signed an agreement to remain silent.
The problem with that is, even IF Romney knows who the person is in advance, Romney will just call attention to the whole thing and Gloria can run around about how Romney is so scared he tried to keep her quiet.
Also, Gloria got around this confidentiality business against Cain, by keeping the identity of the person secret, and calling on Cain to release them from their confidentiality agreement. This was highly effective and you are not going to keep the national media off a Romney scandal by waiving legal action.
I am sure they are considering using Allred on this, it’s what they do and more specifically it’s what Axelrod does. This close to the election, the person can be the biggest bimbo, scum, liar in the world and Romney won’t have time to prove that and shut teh scandal down.
If Rasmussen has the election right, it could make a big difference. If Gallup has it right, not so much.
I do believe the RNC knows about this already. Freepers called them yesterday and Matt Drudge’s tweets must go to millions of people?
I think you are correct about the reason for the “binder” comments.
The problem is, Allred dumps it..even if it's not remotely credible..the MSM joyfully picks it up..the retractions come AFTER election day.
However, I suspect that Romney is ready for it..
Yours is an interesting point, though I think unintentional. Are the Dems about to broach the topic that we are about to elect a full fledged religious leader as POTUS. I am not familiar enough with the workings of the LDS, but in Catholic and High Church Protestant structures the term “bishop” indicates a figure of considerable authority within the Church, making liturgical, clerical, and doctrinal decisions. Would electing Romney be akin to electing Timothy Cardinal Dolan or Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong? To take that route would certainly be a disrupting factor in the last two weeks.
Looks a lot more natural than when he is kissing Michele. Obama has a lot of skeletons in his closet; if Alred starts up it might give our side an opening to get these out front and center.
It could be this. Old news in MA.
I just want to get through this election with Obama thrown out onto his ear.
Pray for our country.
Good summary of why there are questions. Both Hillary and Obama should be answering those questions.
How ironic that he would be tortured the same way?
One factual question I have: How many people were around the embassy when it was attacked? There wasn’t a protest, so how many people were there? Realistically speaking, from a special ops and military standpoint, what would have been the options by the time the military people got the live feed? What were the military people urging Obama to approve, that he didn’t approve and went to bed instead?
In the article, the woman refers to her unborn baby as “that eight-week possibility in my uterus.”
How lovely. /s
After the stuff that was pulled on Bush, if the voters who are too stupid to recognize this crap are enough to turn the election, then this country is one short gasp away from death anyway.
My hope is that the shine is off the rose, so that people can see through Obama’s hype and tripe. I was encouraged by somebody posting about their know-nothing friend who heard Obama try to claim that he had called the Benghazi attack a terrorist attack right away, but knew all the news they had heard was blaming it on that video. They believed their own ears rather than what the man behind the curtain is now trying to tell them. And if the uninformed people can see the blatant contortions by Obama, those contortions are less likely to be effective, even with the most dangerous/vulnerable segment of the public.
I think that there was something on Drudge yesterday.
Has anyone considered that this news may come from Obama’s opposition? Perhaps about his possible gay relationships.
