Is this Roves oct surprise???
Honestly, I don't think this is Rove's October Surprise. To be, he'd have had to know about the IM's, and then assumed that the Democrats would overreach, and then sit back and quietly let the House take the heat. I cannot believe that they would put the people that they need to implement their agenda in that kind of a hotseat for any reason.
Now, if you want my guess as to what the October Surprise would be, I'd look to why the Iraqi Saddam trial deferred their verdict until mid-October.
