Thursday is the Traditional "October Surprise" Day in Presidential Elections
Vanity

Posted on 10/29/2008 11:19:10 PM PDT by Chet 99

Thursday is the Traditional "October Surprise" Day in Presidential Elections ...

Consider:

1992: Bush 41 is surging in the polls, and even overtakes Clinton in some tracking polls. Lawrence Walsh indicts Casper Weinberger.

2000: Bush 43 is well ahead of Gore. Bush is spending the final week campaigning in California and New Jersey. Bush's old DUI story is announced.

2004: A twofer in 2004 - (1) The "missing explosives" story; and (2) Bin Laden's videotaped endorsement of Kerry

So tomorrow is Thursday, the traditional day to unload a last minute bomb, designed to control the news cycle for the remainder of the campaign.

Uh...I don’t see a problem with McCain actually putting something out. He has been portrayted as a Nazi, and modern politics has changed.

“Obama had a first wife?”

I didn’t know that either... But then, I know more about Joe than I know about the commie one.

How about a few bizarre bombs that wouldn’t have accured to anyone in past years???
1. The Candidate is foreign born and NOT a Natural Citizen!
2. The Candidate NEVER WROTE the book he based his candidacy on and the only achievement he could call his own!
3. The Candidate is FUNDED by Foreign Terrorists and Enemies of America!
4. The Candidate knowingly conspired with Internal Terrorists and Enemies of America to Overthrow America’s Government!
5. The Candidate has lied about his past, his religious beliefs, and associations in order to usurp the Presidency!
6. The Candidate pleaded Extreme Stupidity in NOT Knowing and NOT HEARING His Pastor’s Racist and Terroristic Rantings Against America for Over Twenty Years!
7. According to the PRESS CORP., The Candidate is unable or chooses to operate an Unsanitary and RANK SMELLING Campaign Plane which says much about his lack of Managerial Abilities.
8. The Candidate Hates AMERICA As SHE EXISTS! The Candidate is Concealing He is a SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST and a MUSLIM JIHADIST!
Other than the Above Considerations, Many More Unknown and Intentionally Concealed Facets of The Candidate’s Past and Present Are AREAS of SERIOUS WEAKNESS’S for any Position with more Responsibility than Neighborhood Agitator!
NOBAMA IN 08!! MOBAMAS EVER FOR AMERICA! NEVER EVER!!

Don't forget the FOI request from the Navy for some "rumored" accident McCain had 47 years ago for McCains medical records from this purported accident that "may" have happened to "see if someone died in the accident."

I think they are fishing for blood tests to see if he was drunk in the so-called accident that no one even knows happeneed.

tells me McCain lived a pretty clean life.

Larry Sinclair still stands by his story that B. Hussein did coke in his (Larry’s) limo while he (Larry) performed a sexual favor for Obama.

You can Google “Larry Sinclair”.

4. The Michelle Obama “Whitey” tapes.

One or all of the above.

Bubba may havce made amiddle of the night appearance with Obama, but that doesn’t mean he and Hillary don’t have a last minute rollout of some “files” Thursday or Friday.

The “missing explosives” story....which promptly disappeared down the memory hole. I am not even sure I remember the premise of the story now...just that it was supposedly bad for that evil ChimpyMcHaliburton guy.

I wonder what the left will try to pull during the next few days.

Today will answer the question “ just how powerful are the PUMAs?” It's put up or shut up for them today but they are angry enough to sink Obama. I'd like to bring up again that if Hill has any hope at all to run in 2012, Obama has to lose.

Just a reminder to all that any anti Obama bombshell has to be done today. Friday/Saturday/Sunday are never good days to release any news unless you want said item to disappear. Monday is too late for our side as the MSM can suppress almost any story for a day.

That would be my thought as well except I would think she would have played that card in the primaries.

'October Surprises' rarely involve Democrat Candidates.

Just ask the Bush I and Bush II.

I don't know if you've been paying attention to the mainstream media during this election, but if you haven't, I think it's time for a heads up.

If there's any October surprise, it will involve McCain or Palin, not Obama.

FBI informant Larry Grathwohl was on O’Reilly tonight. O’Reilly forgot to mention that tape. I emailed him to bring it up now that he has laid the ground work. Others could too. I was really surprised to see Larry Grathwohl on the show. O’Reilly has a way of defusing things that definitely should not be defused as they are MAJOR.

The Justice Department is arresting him for committing mass hypnosis knowingly on the American public which the Supreme Court has ruled to be illegal. Since he has done this across state lines it is going to be tried under RICO.
