As we approach election day, let us not forget "October Surprise"

[priller]

The Bushes and their cronies have shown time and again that they have absolutely no regard for the democratic process and will do anything -- ANYTHING -- to get elected and keep the government gravy train flowing their direction. While most people here seem to be worried by Rove's dirt-dealing tactics, I think we should also expect something bigger to happen, something along the lines of the October Surprise. I have no idea what it will be, but stay alert people!

1. I expect an April/may surprise a June/July surprise

and the final September/October surprise.
it will be
OBL
CIA planted nerve agents found in Iraq
victory declared in Iraq
the order doesn't matter

2. Yeah, OBL "suddenly" apprehended might do it

But it would have to occur right before the election, like a few weeks. Bush's "Saddam bounce" didn't last too long.

6. Trotting OBL our right before the elections...

... might strike even the band of Bush crooks as a little tooooo obvious. I'd expect no later than September.

3. they would also not be adverse to . . .

tampering with electronic voting machines, if they knew there was no way they could get caught . . . and, right now, there isn't . . .

4. I feel like the Afflack duck here but this is a good article about who

may know about whatever October surprise they may have in
mind. Good ole Digby. <http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/>.
Kerry may have a surprise of his own.

5. Maybe they will send us all halloween Goodies

yep, that would be nice. A nice care package from old Bush and Cheney with halloween candy and cookies.

But I suspect the surprise will be something nasty instead.
