Conspiracy Time: Predict the October Surprise

10/5/06, 11:35 am EST

For the latest issue of Rolling Stone, we asked our panel of experts what scare tactics Republicans could pull to swing the midterm elections. Below is a taste of Bill Maher’s top ten list. Check out the full panel — including New York Times columnist Frank Rich, conservative pundit Bill Buchanan and many more — and tell us what you think.

(1) Bin Laden will be captured and we will discover a detailed plan of the next Al Qaeda strike as well as an entire album of color photos of Tom and Katie’s baby.
(2) A terrorist plot to blow up the World Series will be foiled through a warrantless wiretap on the bullpen phone.
(3) John Mark Karr says Ted Kennedy put him up to it.
(4) Arrange for Iran to retake the hostages.
(5) Change the name of October to “9/11.”

Parade Osama Bin Laden around washington in chains (a.la Quasi Moto), and then announce that he escaped after the november elections are over.

By the way, Buchanan is a lunatic!

Joe | 10/5/2006, 1:21 pm EST

What about the Democrat orchestrated “October Surprise”?

1)Revalations that George Allen might have used the word “nigger” in the past

2)Mark Foley “scandel”

3)???

If the Dems lose (once again) in November, will they (once again) whine that the election was “rigged”?

The Democrats CAN’T engage the Republicans in the arena of ideas, they need to smear Republicans to get ahead.

If the Democrats win, they will:

1)Impeach Bush
2)Cut and Run in Iraq
3)Raise taxes

Inspiring ain’t it??

Joe | 10/5/2006, 1:23 pm EST

We all know that Rove made the price of oil go down in time of the elections..

God, I love leftwing conspiracy theories..

Joe | 10/5/2006, 1:25 pm EST

Frank Rich is a leftwing hack.

Jack D | 10/5/2006, 1:47 pm EST

Joe, You need help.

Skeetch | 10/5/2006, 2:23 pm EST

Actually, that’s more of a November surprise. But a delicious one.

TinFoilHat | 10/5/2006, 3:43 pm EST

Cyrus,
That wouldn’t be a suprise.

Hector Catfish | 10/5/2006, 4:46 pm EST

Saddam will escape trial and join up with Bin Laden. Together, they’ll host a weekly radio show, in which they will challenge the Republicans to “bring it.”

TinFoilHat | 10/5/2006, 5:21 pm EST

Skeetch, I wasn’t aware that the Dove Bars were imprisoned. Do they get the rit of Habeus Corpus?

C U in Hell | 10/5/2006, 5:31 pm EST

Actually, the surprise is coming in November. Cheney already hinted at it. Today’s Examiner quotes him as saying, “We will retain control of both houses.”

He sounds ominously sure. This is not unlike Election Night 2004, when exit polls showed Kerry ahead and Bush somehow managed to pull of a narrow victory anyway. Remember, to rig an election, you don’t need guys meddling in every single polling place in the country; hacking electronic voting machines in a handful of key districts is enough to tip the balance and subvert the popular vote.

Honestly though, even if the Republicans cheat again, it might be for the best. If the Dems win in November, the last two years of Bush’s presidency should be just enough time for the right-wing to create a “stab in the back” mythology on why we’re not winning in Iraq. Two more years of Republican rule, on the other hand, means two more years of scandals and failed policies, which will put the Dems in a prime position to take back the White House in 2008. Maybe by then they can actually get their shit together.

TinFoilHat | 10/5/2006, 6:04 pm EST

Oh right! The ‘congress did it’ excuse! Staple of the Regan years. You may be right, we may not want to give them that one.

Cyrus Emerson | 10/5/2006, 6:56 pm EST

You’re right TinFoilHat that would not be a surprise.

How about this . . .

President Bush appears on the Daily Show with “evidence” that the Democratic National Committee accepted money from Al-Qaeda for the 2006 elections. In turn, the Democrats have promised to withdraw all troops from Iraq, and to convert Christians to Islam in hope of world peace.

TinFoilHat | 10/5/2006, 7:21 pm EST

Bush on the DAILY SHOW! Now THAT would be a suprise!

Ryan | 10/5/2006, 7:25 pm EST

1)The Decider will stop a runaway train by reading portions of “The Case for Christ.”

2)Islamo-fascist lesbians will fist-fuck a child on national television and later blame their behavior on the lack of guns in America.

3)In response to a question about his administration’s failure to capture bin Laden, Bill Clinton will angrily fondle Katie Couric’s breasts.

4)Osama will be captured when authorities realize that he has a late fee on his rental of “Bowling for Columbine.”

TinFoilHat | 10/5/2006, 8:09 pm EST

Ha! Ryan yer killin’ me!

Richard Dick Cheney | 10/5/2006, 11:44 pm EST

Maybe Jesus will make an appearance…

xenu | 10/6/2006, 9:05 am EST

Laura Bush will be kidnapped by terrorists and held for ransom. Since she has the highest approval ratings of anyone associated with the current administration, this nefarious deed might resonate with the public enough to cast yet another Republican vote.

DirtyDennis | 10/6/2006, 10:52 am EST

Wow!! Now that one I didn’t see coming. Go to the head of the class Xenu. Unless you pirated it. Word?

Bubba ORLY? | 10/6/2006, 11:23 am EST

Axl Rose will announce the new Guns ‘n’ Roses album will be released in 2006. I mean, actually released in 2006.

C U in Hell | 10/6/2006, 12:22 pm EST

That would be a great Onion headline: “Bush forces Axl Rose to release long-awaited Guns ‘N Roses album”

Jethro Bodine | 10/6/2006, 3:25 pm EST

30 flabby boomer throwbacks with repulsive taste in music (Axl Rose?) found face down in Boston’s I-90 connector tunnel. Small gang of Arabs seen jumping up and down nearby, then disappear. Further investigation shows victims are NSA and TSA data miners in charge of monitoring potential terror cells in US territory.

This allows any existing terror cells a temporary license to committ dastardly deeds.

Small gang of Arabs later uncovered as Bechtel employees. But the election passes and Repubs hold both Congress.

Jed Clampett | 10/6/2006, 4:39 pm EST

If the republicans are elected…

1. there will be a draft
2. taxes for the wealthy will be reduced while programs for the poor will be cut
3. oil prices will go up and oil companies will receive huge tax cuts to ‘explore more fields’ (ie. do their job)
4. funding for alternative means of producing home electricity will be greatly reduced
5. people who think differently will be ostracised
6. more and more jails will be built
7. more schools in poor neighborhoods will be neglected
8. corruption will continue to spread unabated
9. more monopolizing by huge corporations will be allowed
10 and most importantly— more districts will be redrawn so that it becomes almost impossible for any other party to be elected.

Wake up americans. These people do not work for the people. They work for the party, for power and wealth and for themselves only.

Ancon | 10/6/2006, 6:46 pm EST

October Surprise sounds like the name of some kind of casserole.

Mr. Jack | 10/6/2006, 8:13 pm EST

Osama will still be on the loose,so that the Republicans can use him to scare voters.
Is anyone else sick of transparent way that both parties are using the same tactics they always do?

Anonymous-Therefore-Asshole | 10/6/2006, 8:37 pm EST

Hmm, you know, when a message board is saturated with so many posts, the weight of any individual’s opinion decreases. That’s the trouble with these things – the motivation to attempt anything intelligent decreases, and the urge to throw up some smart-ass, eye-catching quip increases – at least then, you might get read.

xylo-phone playa | 10/6/2006, 8:49 pm EST

Each Republican candidate will have a tattoo of a wet, grumpy, kitten (in a brown shoe) inscribed on their forehead. Democrats will counter this tactic by having two sad-eyed Yorkie puppies surgically connected (by the scruff of the neck) onto each of their chests (approximately two inches below both nipples). President Bush will strategically drop his triple-dip ice-cream cone on the lawn of the white house and then gaze demurely at press cameras. Footage of a rosy-cheeked Ted Kennedy laughing jol-lil-ly (complete with jiggling belly) as he gets tickled by a hoard of giggling infants will then be mysteriously leaked by MoveOn.org

jeffery mcnary | 10/7/2006, 8:24 am EST

The angel Gabriel appears floating above the Texas statehouse and reveals that, yes Chavez is correct, Bush IS the devil.

tony reyes | 10/7/2006, 2:31 pm EST

The Devil’s offspring roams the earth. Anyone of us may be His gene. He is imbedded in human nature and roams at will. Look in the mirror, you may see him there.
According to St. Paul “sin” is lodged in us. Sin is the gene that causes human misery. Human nature is cursed to die because of sin. The real enemy is within our midst, what to do is our quest. “To be or not to be that is the question.”

eddie torres | 10/7/2006, 3:50 pm EST

Karl Rove persuades Congress to pass an emergency edict banning wit.

Don’t worry Anonymous-Therefore-Asshole, you’re safe.

eddie torres | 10/7/2006, 3:55 pm EST

Congress attaches a rider to its emergency anti-wit law. The rider bans the Devil and anyone who speaks knowingly of him.

tony reyes, start running.

xinhoj | 10/7/2006, 7:44 pm EST

Or, on Election Day, an ungodly disproportionate Democratic victory (Like 95%-3%, the rest minor third parties). Incumbent Republicans thrown out in places like Utah and Wyoming and Idaho, places Democrats haven’t had any sort of national political presence in decades.

Then OH NOES, some “LIEberal” vote-fixing Democrats broke in and hax0red the machines! And we’ve got videotape proving it! National election crisis!

true, this is more of a November Surprise, but still, think about it..

tony reyes | 10/7/2006, 8:20 pm EST

Hey Eddie Torres: It’s hard to tell the good guys from the bad. I’m glad you’re out there. As for A-T-A I’ll flip a coin, heads or tails it’s all the same. Angel’s of light are everywhere.

YupYupYup | 10/7/2006, 10:49 pm EST

No need for an October surprise. Diebold will do it for ‘em again.

xinhoj | 10/8/2006, 2:43 am EST

The Navy’s deploying minesweepers, subs, and battleships to the Persian Gulf as we speak.

It will be an attack against Iran because of their nuclear program.

Don Garb | 10/8/2006, 12:37 pm EST

A REALLY big bomb goes off at the Democratic convention or someplace where ALL the democratic candidates are gathered together. And then they’d all be dead! This strategy worked great for getting rid of Paul Wellstone. So who you gonna vote for now Lunchbox Larry and Suzie Homebaker? The dead guy? Now the diebold machines could steal a fantastic number of votes and nobody could say it looked suspicious. Remember, the GOP, neocons, p-nackers and Jeff Gannon’s clients are psychopaths, so their surprise will be quite “insensitive.”

jeffery mcnary | 10/8/2006, 2:27 pm EST

this suprise is probably that we make it to november.

stretchedmind | 10/8/2006, 2:52 pm EST

October Surprise
Joe realizes that he has fallen prey to neo con mind control.
He then has an ethical epiphany that pediphelia is not a partisan or political sickness.
He slowly grasps the 9 TRILLION debt saddled to this nation, largest ever, was delivered by the hands of Republican leadership (he weeps with calculator in hand).
Joe feels an urge to read history and learns that pre emptive wars always end in defeat, also they are not Constitutional and saddle the nation with debt.
Amazingly, an informed blogger lifts the fog that has held Joe captive to neocon mind control as he realizes that the military industrial complex is the life blood of neocon policy.
Joe rushes out to share his new found truth with the religious right who also feel duped.
Independents and third party candidates win the election because Diebold was not hacked to mess with this traditionally small vote option.

AmericanGirl | 10/8/2006, 3:45 pm EST

There are more American citizens than Republican conspirators and terrorists, domenstic and foreign, put together. When the elections are suspended and martial law invoked, don’t be one of the many subjugated by the few. Refuse to surrender; it will be your only chance.

Uranus | 10/8/2006, 6:37 pm EST

Is everyone a comedian? Bush will provoke a nuclear attack on the U.S., probably by bombing Iran. Surprise!

chocco | 10/8/2006, 7:07 pm EST

There won’t be an October surprise…..the surprise will be in November (again) when the rigged up Diebold machines deliver for the Bushies and again, we realize we are living in a fascist dictatorship known as the United States of Denial. — And when the little frog realized the water he was in was boiling – it was too late. He was cooked!

Not Joe | 10/8/2006, 7:18 pm EST

In a few weeks, the White House will announce that Jenna Bush is getting married to one of the sons of Osama bin Laden, politically merging the two families that brought us 9/11.

Then Bush will declare that the “War on Terror” is over, because just as in the olden days of Europe, two warring houses made peace through nuptials arranged between the sons and daughters of the two warring houses.

Or maybe Bush will bomb Iran the last week of October…which will definitely lead to a November Surprise for all our troops over in Iraq.

since lucky larry, recent beneficiary of huge insurance payouts on world trade centers recently aquired the sears tower in chicago i’m guessing dirty bomb, in the heartland. they’ve shut down norad primarily because its the best facility to be in if a nuke were detonated in the us. recent legislation passed allows congress to pass laws in case of national emergencies with what ever lawmakers can be mustered. the white house press breifing room has been moved to an area off site so nobody will see them dismanteling america on the eve of nuclear annihilation.

Chris Rose | 10/9/2006, 12:36 am EST

Okay, here’s what the “October Surprise” will be. Saddam Hussein will be found guilty of genocide and other “crimes against humanity”. Consequently, he will be sentenced to death. In keeping with Iraqi law, the sentence will be carried out within thirty days of sentencing.

I predict Saddam will be sentenced on October 16, 2006 and the execution will be carried out within two weeks following the sentencing. It could even be carried out on October 31, 2006.

Remember, you heard it here first!

Alan in CA | 10/9/2006, 2:04 am EST

I expect Iran to be bombed too. And what’s so hard about catching Osama bin Laden? Take out a car with a misslie somewhere around Afghanistan, toss in some hamburger and a turban, and declare Mission Accomplished! Even if the DNA tests come back showing OBL was a cow from a Pennsylvania dairy farm, that’s after the election, right?

octoberosamatape | 10/9/2006, 9:18 am EST

Osama sends secret tapes showing Bush and Jeff Gannon cohorting into the late hours in the Lincoln Bedroom. Rove says, no, it was him with John Guckert and Condi with Laura. Osama makes surprise appearances. Bush puts a feet in his mouth and says Rove dowsn’t know what he’s talking about.

Douglas E Fresh | 10/9/2006, 9:54 am EST

Harrison | 10/9/2006, 6:43 pm EST

With a naval convoy already on its way to the Persian Gulf, I’m looking for another Gulf of Tonkin incident. We’ll park our ships off the Iranian coast and make various threatening gestures. If some Iranian hothead fires off a missile, we’ve “been attacked” and the country must rally around the President. If the Iranians are too cool to be drawn in, we’ll fake an incident. Who says this leadership hasn’t learned from Vietnam?

Lars Radioguts | 10/9/2006, 6:53 pm EST

I have been very stressed out for months that the scenario for Rove’s “October Surprise” will involve North Korea firing a missle at the United States, Lockheed-Martin shooting it out of the sky over the Pacific Ocean, and Karl Rove’s dream-come-true of pulling off the perfect October Surprise ever, in that it is the perfect distraction (on the other side of the planet from Iraq), a radio-frequency transmitter onboard for LMT to lock-on for homing, and thus cannot miss.

A GOP Commercial including the video of an LMT interceptor missle shooting down an incoming enemy missle harmlessly exploding now over the Pacific, while Karl Rove comments: “See, if it were up to the Democrats, we would not even HAVE a missle-defense system”. has had me very worried for months that they can actually pull this off.

The recent nuclear test in North Korea has added to my concern too.

The $9-Billion GOP Slush fund Haliburton so conveniently provided for them has plenty of means to bribe Kim Ill Jong into playing along.

Let Them Eat Cake | 10/10/2006, 12:09 am EST

“C U In Hell” has been loitering there way too long…

Allowing the dangerous non-plan and no intellect to keep open discussions with “the Axis of Evil” needs to vanish…

The money being stolen by Republican politicians are draining our infra-structure and the U.S.’S potential to survive any natural or terrorist calamity that Bush and his Regime make a hundred times worse than the actual event is worse every day.

Unless, the Republicans are voted out, then the oil companies, wars based on lies, economy for working people, selling the country’s resources and “protection” to WhoEver, is going to end our Country’s Existence…

The Worst November “Surprise” would be to have voters not bother to vote and Diebolds unchecked……

Cheney(the dirty oil and war profiteer) needs to provide the Enron “Security Risk” Minutes and, start serving the prison sentence he should be charged with(along with Bush/Rove(the traitor)/Rumsfeld(pharmaceutic al CEO)/Wolfowitz/Perle)!

Now, it sounds like some of the Repubes are too busy “engaging underage pages” and Partying with TaxPayers money.

Republicans aren’t worried about issues like homelessness, health care, taxing the wealthy, helping workers to keep benefits and decent wages, infra-structure-building, defending our country and not stretching our troops thin.

More of Republican Congressional Domination and Fascism would be the “Nightmare before Christmas”…..

Vote Democrats In–November 7th…

A. Dulles | 10/10/2006, 3:09 pm EST

Operation Northwoods put into action:

Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a 1962 plan to generate U.S. public support for military action against the Cuban government of Fidel Castro as part of the U.S. government’s Operation Mongoose anti-Castro initiative. The plan, which was not implemented, called for various false flag actions, including simulated or real state sponsored acts (such as hijacked planes) on U.S. and Cuban soil. The plan was proposed by senior U.S. Department of Defense leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Louis Lemnitzer.

TinFoilHat | 10/10/2006, 11:15 pm EST

Hey Dulles, welcome back from beyond the grave. While you’re being so honest, why don’t you spill the beans on who actually killed JFK?

Let Them Eat Cake | 10/11/2006, 1:52 am EST

Anything removing Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove would be Big Step Up…

The wealthy need to pay some of the taxes they have taken a vacation from for six years.

And since it’s not your ass or mine over in Iraq, any Demo with a good exit plan deserves to be given a chance…

You Bush Apologists seem to be Stuck on The FEAR And SMEAR CARD…

Who has been doing the Republican’s List of Lies-ye ‘ole troll, Rove…You guys are just getting a taste of your own medicine…

Foley just added the icing to our cake…(Better clean up your mess before anymore people become victims to an insane and uncontrolled Republican led Congress and a White House filled with a Whacked glut of Criminals…

Bush Gone and his Party of ill-repute-RARE…..But So GREAT….
(Watch Virginia, Florida, Ohio, New Mexico, Minnesota(Lots of Cheating Might Be Getting Set Up by the Rove Rodents….)Hope California Stays Cool and Clean…

Let Them Eat Cake | 10/11/2006, 4:35 am EST

The Rove/Republican “Strategy” may be to “Capture and Kill” bin Laden(Who they have probably had his exact whereabouts since 9/11.

And will not be Bush and his Party(Airplanes/Greed) that killed the Beast But, it is Disease that takes the Beast(Beauty).

The rumors of bin Laden’s death may have been true or the insane man may be in the last stages of death but, watch for Rove/Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld to take credit for his(bin Laden’s)demise.

Anyone believing a weird “sense of timing” on this-I’ll sell ‘ya prime real estate in Iraq…

That sounds creepy and diabolical enough for the Republicans to carry out…

And, hopefully, only the Serverely Naive will buy into it-America is too smart to swallow it.

This would look way too flakely and contrived…

And, for the theory that someone will attempt to assassinate Bush, but it will be a foiled attempt, or he miracously recovers from death’s door, would fit in with the Anti-Christ prophesy…

Both creepy “predictions”….

But then Bush and Party lose their handy bogeyman that allows them to attack countries not involved in 9/11 or other countries Bush and War Profiteer Pals “claim” plot to attack America.

Someone is drumming up all kinds of lies and excuses to catapult us into more wars.

Glen C | 10/11/2006, 1:04 pm EST

Clark Kent Ervin, you straight arrow former homeland security operative, your naivete gives me a warm feeling all over. You note the anti-terror bin-Laden unit being disbanded and yet fail to consider the possibility of its success being hidden until it could yield real pro-republican results: i.e. bin Laden is caught already and is in cold storage (a secret chechen prison) until next week. You make a lousy conspiracay theorist.

TinFoilHat | 10/12/2006, 12:58 am EST

I can’t believe that there are people taking this story seriously. ITS A JOKE, GET A CLUE!!. If you actually read the latest Rolling Stone, you would realize that they are just trotting out a whole series of CONSPIRACY THEORIES tongue-in-cheek like. Get a clue you guys!

Besides, they would never trot out Bin Laden just for a midterm election. He has too much value as a boogey man in the war on terror! (says the man in the tinfoil hat).

DirtyDennis | 10/12/2006, 7:52 am EST

TFH,

Perhaps you give these guys, the Cons, too much credit for clear thinking and foresight. Their track record would belie such assumptions.

IF they had Bin Laden, they would doubtless be saving him for ‘the big show.’ But the wheels are coming off right now so they may have to spend some political capital.

Besides, they DO have us immersed in an inescapable conflict. And by holding both houses of Congress they could ‘protect’ GWII as well as pass a whole lot of laws that would ensure reelection.

Besides, for the 2008 elections, they can always declare victory and withdraw AND lower gas prices, ensuring reelection. Oh, and maybe declare evangelicalism as the official religion of America. (I’m showing my ignorance of religious references, but you get the drift.)

Let Them Eat Cake | 10/18/2006, 8:42 pm EST

Can’t help wonder if Bush and bin Laden’s family didn’t have an “understanding” that bin Laden would not be captured/killed but, if he died of kidney disease, his body would be claimed by the Bush administration and, they could brag that that Bush and his great war-planners killed him in “a fierce battle)In Iraq-although I bet the ailing evil man died in another country(Bush and his Buffoons will be able to connect 9/11 with Iraq(Although five years after 9/11, it terrorism attacking Iraq has generated is far more dangerous to America than bin Laden was…

Think the French reports may have been correct about bin Laden’s demise…

What a circus Bush and Rove will have with a phony “Capture/Kill”…

DirtyDennis | 10/19/2006, 8:16 am EST

I think all would agree that we may be in for some remarkable theater in the next couple of years.

It's Gods Will | 10/21/2006, 1:17 pm EST

Of course we stole the election in 2004 and not just in Ohio. Can you say New Mexico? Florida?

RS’s article by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., “Was the 2004 Election Stolen?” got it right… We know the chance that Bush won fairly was 1 in 3 billion. Who cares? No one! Not even the pussies in the democratic party were willing to stand up and fight this flagrant abuse, and you want them to lead? Truth be known, no one will do anything about it because we hold all the cards and power, so get used to it.

We are the chosen ones and we’ll win at any cost – at any price. It’s the best democracy $$ can buy thanks to all of you. We don’t even give the minority party a voice in congress, yet, they show up for the constant abuse anyway.

We don’t need no stinking October Surprise! Surprise!!

We already have the election totals tallied, so don’t bother voting if you’re a democrat. It’s God’s will.

(tongue in cheek but painfully obvious)

ItsAllAboutTheMoney | 10/21/2006, 1:35 pm EST

I agree. With Diebold, who needs an October surprise? GET YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

October Surprise Top 10 | 10/21/2006, 1:53 pm EST

I’ve got it! The October surprise will be Bush calling a press conference asking to change the American name. Here are the choices:

The United States of (pick one)

1. I Got Mine
2. Denial
3. Corporate America
4. Disfunction
5. Promises Made, Promises Broken
6. Shut Up
7. Confusion
8. Reality Gone Wild
9. Disunity

and last but not least…

10. the GOP

Bush will choose #10 which will ensure that all good republicans will come out in force to vote.
Remember, you’re either with us or against us!

itstoolate | 10/23/2006, 11:34 am EST

It’s already happened. They got oil prices down by changing the weighting of oil in the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index and by stopping purchases for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve termporarily. They got new highs for the DOW. Even that one surprised me. Diebold will deliver for them. The quesion is whether there will be a “Gulf of Tonkin 2″. An American Ship is attacked such as the USS Eisenhower or the USS Enterprise, thus giving the reason for an attack on Iran. I don’t think there will be a terrorist attack on US Soil, at least not until after the elections. That would mean the US isn’t protected.

Let Them Eat Cake | 10/26/2006, 4:12 am EST

“Cut and Run”, did you say, “Joe”?

Don’t think we’ll be hearing that Bush One anytime soon…

It isn’t really Selling Well This Month…(It does describe Bush’s Fab Military Career, though!)

SouthOfStrange | 10/27/2006, 7:25 am EST

Whatever the October Surprise is, they’ve only got four days left in October. Given the fact Rove seems unconcerned with poll data, I wonder if just this once, he might have let D.C. go to his head. At this point, the surprise is no surprise at all — it can only hurt them. Even the price of gas has started creeping back up.

My money’s on no surprise at all. And that might be the biggest surprise they can give us, at this point!

PS: The way things look in Ohio, it would have to be barenaked fraud on Diebold’s part. If the turnout is anything like what’s expected, a GOP victory there would result in riots at the courthouses.

Tiv | 9/7/2007, 3:33 pm EST

The October surprise turned out to be that all of you people who posted here are idiots (being Democrats, no real shocker there)and that you suck and can’t win the Presidency. I could have told you that beforehand.
