Hillary Predicts October Surprise

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is predicting that this year's presidential election will be very tight and the victor will win because of "something unforeseen."
"It will be very close," the former first lady tells the New York Post's Cindy Adams.
On how the contest will ultimately be decided, Clinton said, "It will be outside forces - something unforeseen that suddenly happens - that tilts the election one way or the other."
In 1992, Clinton's husband won the White House after Reagan Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger was indicted on Iran-Contra charges four days before the vote. Though the indictment was later overturned, the charges were enough to reverse President Bush 41's last-minute surge in the polls to within one point of Clinton.
In 2000 - again four days before the vote - a Democrat operative in Maine uncovered court records from Bush 43's then-24-year-old DUI stop. Bush's 5-point lead in Florida dwindled to a mere 537 votes, with the DUI news making Gore the popular vote winner nationwide.

I agree, Kerry will die and she will enter to save the country.
Bush should not use so much money so early, wait for the "Unexpected".
I just don't trust the "RATS"

The question is which candidate is she going to slime?

Will it be Hiliary's terrorist friends holding an explosive Ke(rr)y rally or Hiliary's media friends unleashing another media bomb?

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is predicting that this year's presidential election will be very tight and the victor will win because of "something unforeseen." Dude, where is that "Barf Alert"?
What the heinous one doesn't realize is that George has some of his own tricks up his sleeve. I think Hillary and the dems are going to be surprised.

I'm trying to think why X42 let the Dems walk into the Condi trap-- he had to have seen it coming. He could have warned them. He must really want Kerry to flop. The October Surprise is the same as every other month's surprise-- the Clinton's sabotaging Kerry.
