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.
I will take a wild guess — evidence emerges that BHO was the 20th hijacker ? :)
One of three things:
1) The Khalidi Tape is released.
2) The Vera Baker story is put forth by bloggers and certain other groups.
3) Something about Obama that we do not know.
All of the potential October surprises about McCain have been exhausted. Obama’s got too many things in his back pocket. And things are going to tip.
Did they play the Michelle Obama “whitey” tapes yet?
Obama puts on his “blue jeans” one last time and turns the rain into Blueberry Kool-Aid for the masses.
May it please be in our favor!!! I can’t have any more election stress right now or I might explode.
Khalidi tape maybe.
BO turns water into wine and feeds 5000 followers at Thursday rally?
Nothing is the October surprise. McCain is too weak and worried about what the left thinks of him to pull something legit on Obama. I think the birth certificate deal would have been ripe, but we conservatives have so few to fight for us.
Uhhh...it wouldn’t be the McCain camp putting anything out. It would be someone else. Independent sources, say maybe WFTV out of Orlando, etc.
You forgot:
4) API releases the Whitey tape, the Michelle audio, and information on Obama’s first wife all at once.
It wont come from Obama, since he’s playing it as safe as can be.
It wont come from the media since they’ve already decided Obama has won.
It wont come from Biden since they’ve put a muzzle on him.
Fingers crossed.
Obama is a self-admitted cokehead. Seriously. Most people don’t know that. At this point that could destroy him. People don’t know him and are getting more skeptical. Doing coke is not a youthful indiscretion. That’s some serious sh!t. What else is not known about him?
That revelation would sink his campaign and it’s in his friggin book.
He also probably dealt coke too. What else has he done and not admitted to?
Right now I have the feeling that the country is ready to vote the guy down. This is way too late to introduce yourself to middle America. Plus people don’t want to see their taxes go up or the government get bigger. We can’t afford that crap now. The financial meltdown makes the cost of government more of an issue now. Americans are ticked off by the bailouts and you want to tax and spend even more? No thanks.
Obama did coke. Shout it from the rooftops.
Let's hope so. But Obama has a history of profiting off of ugly revelations from the divorce records of opponents. McCain went through a divorce and has admitted to "inappropriate" behavior during his first marriage. One wonders if Obama will revert to form.
I asked my husband if he could get any coma inducing drugs for Tuesday and to keep me that way for 4 years should Obama win.
My bet: Video of FBI Informant describing WeatherUnderground plot to exterminate 25million Americans.
Obama had a first wife?
What could it be?????
