Poll question: If Osama is captured/trotted out in October....

The outcome of the elections will be...

1. You will be outraged, I will be outraged, but the American people

will vote Republican. As an "October Surprise", it is a winner. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

2. Remember 2004?

No change. :(

3. I say Congress goes to the Dems if the elections are fair...

I don't think Bin Laden's capture is likely to happen, but if it does, it means the Bush administration had him stashed away somewhere all along and he works for them. If indeed they 'capture' Osama bin Laden, I would be interested to see if they bring him before the Hague so he can be tried before a world court and put to death, or if they stash him away again in his black-ops funded luxury villa and he retires to live a quiet life of gardening. We never hear about him again except for timely released propoganda saying he is rotting in prison under torture or something, which would be bullshit, of course.

4. I've been worried about this, too, and

think the odds of this happening are better than even.

5. The REAL question is...are the Dems ready to respond?

[Zavulon]

6. I don't think so.

We've spent so much time pointing out that Bush hasn't caught him yet that if he does show up in October, what do we do other than question the timing or point out how long it took? (The question isn't rhetorical, because Repugs will accuse us of not being happy and therefore "hating America.")

7. It will be soooo obvious that Bushler&Co set the whole thing up from the

beginning. The ranks of MIHOPers will likely grow exponentially.

8. Let's go mets!

9. Something will probably

happen, but that won't be it. Remember the deals? No attacks as long as * is in office and critically released videos. KKKarl and OBL, pals.
