Oddsmakers. In what month do we find Osama?
had a friendly chat with a coworker today that wondered if we catch Osama before, after, or during the Democratic convention. Ended up narrowing it down to which month. I chose July. Any predictions?

1. October Surprise tell your friends
The GOP can't let more than a month go by, otherwise people might remember what a terrible prez he is.

3. Will ANYBODY believe that? I think they have played themselves out
with their little surprises. All the Democrats have to do is ask why it took 3 years. By the way my money is during the Republican convention.

4. I looked at it more ....
...from when the poll #'s hit that "danger will robinson" moment. The campaign from bush will be about fear. The ricin thing is making question the timing.

5. Next January.
When the new democratic president actually goes and looks for him and finds him hiding in a hole in a bunker just outside of Crawford, Tx.

10. Naw, no bunker for Osama.
He'll be hanging out in the twins' spare bedroom suite. (The girls never go there anyway.)

6. Six weeks prior to November election
Six weeks prior to the November elections. That's my firm date. That's enough time for it to receive major airplay in the news cycle, allow Bush Enterprises to wrap the capture in a pretty, White House colored box with bows and ribbons on it, allow Bush Enterprises to get some effective push poll results in place while denying the left the time needed to mount an effective defense and counter.

A year ago, I told my pal this and his reply was that the timing would seem just a wee but too coincidental for the American people to buy and I thought he had a good point so I gave some reconsideration to it.

But with the media bending over for Bush Enterprises, giving him a de-facto privatized, international PR infrastructure, and with the huge amount of Murikan's deifying him, it could actually be spun as a secular miracle performed by The Man Appointed By God.
