Okay Place your Predictions for the October surprise!

It is Sunday evening and I'm bored... so I thought it would be fun.


I think the surprise will come in the next 2 weeks.


I think it will surprise will have to deal with Romney's tax returns.


Remember a while back a group claimed they hacked into a accounting firm gathered Romney's tax returns and sent copies to the Democratic and Republican campaign offices? I think that information will be released soon AND remember Reid has been making speeches on the Senate floor that Romney hasn't paid taxes.

The Icing on the cake will be the fact John Mc Cain is Reid's source.

Nah. Won't happen. His magic undies wouldn't let his dinkie out anyway.

MASTURBATING PERVERT FROM HELL! And he had a "play house", but at least he's straight. rMoney doesn't get laid without his magic undies and would YOU fuck Ann "Botox" rMoney? Good fucking grief. I hate to say it, but she's worse than Laura Bush in the Botox department. At least they can afford the injections.

Note: I have nothing against gays, at all. I know many, am friends with many, and one of my early girlfriends came out and is openly gay. She's still the same girl she was back then (over 30 years ago), but at least she found her real self. rMoney isn't gay. His true passion is money. I almost feel sorry for Botox Ann, but not really. She at least got laid 7 or 8 times when Mittens took off his magic undies.

there's something else about mittnocchio that has nothing to do with his tax returns. Most of the lowdown dirty stuff about mittnocchio will come out after the election. He's more like NIXON than most people can imagine. He's just able to afford better faux tans, midriff girdles, facial botox, hair dye, and dental care.

It is easier to say what will not happen.

Israel will NOT attack Iran.

While Netanytahu would prefer Romney, I think Obama has given him some assurances that the US will not object to an Israel attack on Iran, as long as it is after the election. Indeed, many Israelis are not wild about a preemptive attack, so I think Benji has been persuaded to hold off for a little while.

The Obama camp hitting Rmoney on his profiting from the abortion industry--with ads running all over the place.

No evangelical or conservative Catholic would vote for someone who profited from abortion. Even if they won't vote for Obama, the least we can go for is for them to stay home.

Thats the one I've been waiting on! Let's not give the "infiltrators" a heads up....We need this one to sting and sting HARD! He wont be able to explain it and I bet he's dreading it like the plague. Plouffe & Axelrod will find the right contacts to set the wheels in motion if this card is ultimately played.

11. Question: has there ever actually been an "October surprise?"

The phrase originated in the 1980 campaign, when it was thought that Carter might manage to get the hostages released as an "October surprise." Didn't happen, of course. Since then, has there been an actual event worthy of the phrase, as opposed to speculation of what the October surprise might be?

With North Vietnam. Reagan traded arms to Iran to stop Carter's negotiation for the hostages from succeeding. They were released as soon as Reagan was sworn in. Literally to the minute. If Robme's boys have an October Surprise up their sleeves, it's all too likely to be in the Middle. East.
