Democrats Fear 'October Surprise'

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In the presidential campaign's closing weeks, Democrats are bracing for an "October Surprise," an event so dramatic it could influence the election's outcome. The capture of Osama bin Laden, for instance.

It's part of American political lore: the party out of power worries about a last-minute surprise engineered by the party in power. Now that October has arrived and the election is just a month away, speculation is rife among Democrats that President Bush and political mastermind Karl Rove have some tricks up their sleeves.

"I assume that it will be something," said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California. "We have to be ready for that."

Helen looks like Uncle Fester from the Munsters.

Uncle Fester was part of The Addams Family. Perhaps you meant Grandpa on The Munsters. I think Helen is a dead ringer for Grandpa Munster.

The October surprise I'd like to see...
Is linking the FCC to the main stream media
Heads would roll and roll and roll...

AND......... the MSM big wigs would go OH! DEFACTIION...
We're scewed NOW...

"Surprise: Video of Vietnamese General thanking Kerry for his help."

Or a pirated copy of Kerry's 8mm movie clip of his swift boat machine-gunning the family in the sampan...

"More likely chain of events, Kerry to Chirac to Saddam....not2worry....President Bush is all swagger and no action!
Perhaps a confession of this sort from Saddam himself!"

This could also come to pass. Saddam will do anything to save his own butt.

Ok I like the way you think too. Lets spice it up a bit LOL

Chirac found a new bit$h so Kerry is of no more value to him so he sends Bush recordings and videos of Kerry sharing the info.
To top off the wounds Chirac sends the media videos of Theresa and John Edwards in bed together, and in those photos Teresa is writing big fat checks to John for services rendered. LOL

The October surprise was the total lies by John "The Traitor" Kerry. OH! Sorry lies by democrats are not a surprise.

I've been wondering about that Rove comment since I first heard it. Curious that Hannity never picked up on it. I guess he was too enthralled with the sound of his own voice to actually hear what Rove was saying.

[Fruitbat]

Indeed!

This year's "October Surprise" is the people of this country coming to their senses during October!

[Flamenco Lady]

How about a link showing the Kerry's were getting kickbacks from Saddam through the oil for food program for sales of WMD brokered by Kerry through France and Germany! LOL

[not2worry]

You are probably right. I never forget that face, but I can't remember what show it was one.

But Helen could be Gradpa's twin sister, with the lower IQ.

But that wouldn't be a SURPRISE, everybody already knows that.

Al Zawahiri seems to think an October surprise is coming for him and Osama. Just hope and pray it happens.

...political mastermind Karl Rove..

Yeah right, Rove didn't even have enough brains to see to it that his boss was rested before the debate. Instead spent the day touring damage in Florida. Mastermind my a$$.

[Gibtx]

they should fear it ..... they should practice hiding under their desks...

[txhurl]

But... that would be..... BORING. And not surprising.

If there is an October surprise from Hitlery, it would be pulled on Kerry. Why let him be in the way of her run in 2008? The consensus is that this is the game plan and the Lockhart crew is trying to screw sKerry's campaign.

There are so many Clintonistas already in place, she could step in without even a hiccup...I've wondered if Kerry was just her placeholder. And, of all the FBI files, is it possible she has had a "peek" at his....bwahahhahahaahah!

People are bashing GWB for what he did not say. They are bashing Kerry for what he DID say. I think that's a far less favorable situation for a candidate to be in. Nothing wrong with that strategy.

[Smartass]

The man with the manicure should not be President.
The man that wears a hairnet to bed should not be President.
The man with the thousand dollar haircut should not be President.
The man who has never stood in a line should not be President.
The man who lives like a King and acts like one should not be President.
America doesn't want a Queen named Teresa either.

THANKS FOR THE PING!

The October Surprise: A full release of the Congressionsl Record for the last 20 years. Boy would the demonRats really cry foul then!

[Last Dakotan]

People are bashing GWB for what he did not say.

Huh? He kept saying the same thing over and over again (real hard work). The sort of thing a very tired man does.

[lasereye]

This is just a case of what psychologists call projection. All the October surprises over the years have been by Dems.
