If the Obama tape is the other side's October surprise, I hope they have something else planned.

If they want to have any effect, that is. Yawn. I guess maybe it's their retribution for the only video tape that matters this cycle, Romney 47% tape.

1. My reaction was, "this is the best they came up with?"

they tried this crap 4 years ago. rerunning a failed "gotcha" only comes across as desperate.

it will be out of the news cycle by tomorrow when people are talking about the debate instead.

it really appears as if, not only the mittens campaign is a total and complete failure, but they have zero concept of timing.

2. Plan B is "Obama went on the VIEW!!!!!!" and to blame Obama for what happened in Benghazi

Karl Rove has a commercial out that hits those points in the swing states, and IMHO it is as lame as hell.

3. This really is one of the saddest attempts at an "October Surprise" I have ever seen.

Just pathetic.

But they needed SOMETHING, and this is all they had. An old, ALREADY known about tape of Obama complimenting his old Reverend and "sounding black"... and now they are desperately trying to make a big deal out of it.

It's almost funny.

Almost.

4. I can only imagine what the zingers will be. Pathetic as well. Although, I heard a pundit

yesterday saying that telegraphing the zinger preparation completely defeats the purpose of zingers by removing the spontaneity. They are either completely inept, or else ill-prepared for the task. Maybe they were planning on the disenfranchisement (theft) to be all that would be necessary.

5. Next, they'll soap-up the White House windows...

and throw toilet paper around
