Hillary's October Surprise

Help!! A few months ago on Drudge Report, he posted a statement from Hillary Clinton where she slyly predicted an "October surprise" when asked if she would be running for Vice President this time around. Can anyone help me find the source of that quote?

I remember it but can't think how you could find it. Maybe a freeper here will help you find it. Good luck!

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.

whatever it is - the one thing we can count on is that Rove and the political team are totally unprepared for it.

Boortz is predicting it will be a large, world-wide, simultaneous kidnapping of Americans (and British) civilians (school kids???) as hostages with the threat that "one child per day will be beheaded until George Bush is thrown out of office..."

I've speculated that the "October surprise" was supposed to be the release of the Abu Ghraib photos and videos, nd that someone in the Pentagon released them this spring to get them out in the open long before October.

the threat that "one child per day will be beheaded until George Bush is thrown out of office..."

Someday, we may be driven to vaporize a city somewhere in the world. And then we might say, "One a day, until ..."

If I was John Kerry, I wouldn't take any private plane rides in October!
