Is anyone hearing anything about Gloria Allred and an October surprise?

[MountainMazza]

I tripped across it by googling - October surprise 2012

[sharp_stick]

1. Was there a TV camera around?

The most dangerous place in America is between Gloria Allred and a TV camera.

I think the likelihood of Allred manufacturing a legitimate surprise is pretty slim.

[hrmjustin]

21. I agree.

[JDPriestly]

32. She did it in the California election. And it helped Jerry Brown a lot.

I doubt that would happen twice in two successive elections. It's hoping for too much.

On the other hand if any stories about Romney violating immigration laws are to be found, they would probably find their way to Gloria Allred.

2. Gloria Allred won’t address Drudge October surprise speculation

3. Drudge tweeted she has something

Everything else based off that asshole's tweet I think

4. The Republicans are scared shitless about this coming event. Be very interesting to

see what comes of it.

Here is the sight I read it on. Seems it's a Republican sight and they are in panic mode.

8. Supposedly, the tightening of the polls is due to soccer moms accepting Romney

(at least that's what the political talk shows are saying). If Allred has something on Romney even approaching what she had on Herman Cain that brought him down, it's even more explosive than the tax returns. It's hitting Romney where he's the most vulnerable; the female vote. I can understand why Gloria Allred would scare Republicans more than anyone else.

15. Why would Drudge want to put that on its site?

They would want to downplay that rumor

[dorkzilla]

13. Wow, I really regret going to the link.

The blatant racism being spewed by those mental midgets is scary and sad. Mostly they're saying they couldn't give a rat's ass what anyone has on Romney, they're voting for him because they hate President Obama.

I must say though the ReThugs seem to have this group think thing down. Everyone walks in lock-step, everyone support the guys on "their team".

[regnaD kciN]

31. As someone here pointed out...

...if she does have anything, it is likely it would have been revealed already. With early voting underway and absentees already being returned, any bombshell isn't going to affect as many votes as it might have if it were released a couple of weeks ago.

33. "It is civility from us"

"us conservatives, but anything goes for them (Dems)." The right's lack of self awareness is astounding.

[mgcgulfcoast]

5. we need something big.

[Maximumnegro]

6. why

we don't need anything. how sad that you think that we are in a hail mary position. once again proving that this party's biggest obstacle... is itself.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. I agree

[Maximumnegro]

27. It's called GOTV. Not rocket science.

[Liberalynn]

7. "potential client"

So she's basically saying there might be someone out there with something, they are just waiting to decide whether to hire her or not, and she has to decide whether they have a legitimate (i.e. actual evidence ) case before proceeding.

That would be one potential reading for me, because otherwise wouldn't she have just said "no comment " when asked about the Drudge Tweet or "Consider the Source" . Why mention a potential client at all if there isn't one? Of course it could be just for publicity? Who knows.

I hope it is something on Mittens though because I love to see right wing hypocrites get knocked on their asses.

[aquart]

29. Wouldn't Paula Jones leave Allred free to sue a sitting president?

[underthematrix]

34. you know

Gloria Allred does not take on high profile cases unless she has hard evidence, usually audio, video, court documents, police reports, psychiatric evaluations, financial records, and/or corroborating witness statements.

[pointsoflight]

9. Kind of surprised Romney's taxes have remained sealed.

We all know there's damning stuff in there, otherwise he would've released them. I figured somewhere, something would be released related to those taxes. Maybe that'll still happen. Can't count on it, though. It's all about GOTV at this point!

[Liberalynn]

12. who would be the potential client though?

I'd say if there is anything it would have to be something from his private life or someone he allegedly wronged in business.

[aletier_v]

14. "or someone he wronged in business"

Well, now you're talking millions of potential clients.

[Liberalynn]

16. If it were to do with tax returns the only potential client would be government entity

and I don't think Allred takes on goverment work only private.

[NBachers]

10. Isn't it already October 2012?

[a la izquierda]

36. It is...almost November, too

[LeftofObama]

11. Maybe there's a Mitt Jr.

running around out there somewhere?

[Angry Dragon]

18. Willard made some families while he was in France

[watrwefitinfor]

19. Hmmmph. There are already five of those. Maybe

it's more wives?

[Angry Dragon]

17. she is a full of hot air ........ do not like her

[riverwalker]

20. maybe something about

his "tending the flocks" when he was Bishop in Mormon church, counseling wayward young women late into the evening, and thinking about grampa's six wives and he just has.....Ann.

Or maybe one of Mark Leder's nekkid parties and Romney fundraiser invitations got mixed up.

Or maybe one of the 5 entitled horny boys in a mansion with housekeepers, cooks and masseuses, led to something.

Or maybe Gloria Allred went to law school with one of Romney's Tax Attorney's.

Whatever it is, I hope it brings him to his knees.

[hrmjustin]

22. I doubt she has anything. She is making them sweat.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

24. I believe Allred always...

represents women. And scandals of a personal nature.

[GeorgeGist]

25. Yes ...

[aquart]

26. She found Mitt's Mexican birth certificate?

[Live and Learn]

28. All I can say is that it is pretty pathetic

if we are forced to hope anything Allred comes up with will be more damaging than the things we already know Mittwit has done.

Unless she has his tax returns, that is.

[Live and Learn]

30. Jeebus, please don't make me picture Mittwit

in anything involving taking his magic underwear off.

[BainsBane]

35. revelation os an affair could hurt him

Since he has built so much of his campaign around being a family man.

[Firebirds01]

37. There was a thread on DU

last week about it. People think the surprise may be that he told a woman in his church she could not have a live saving abortion.

[justiceischeap]

38. Everyone is focusing on Mitt, it could be Paul Ryan too

just saying...

[MountainMazza]

39. Interesting....

That's a whole -other- can of worms

[rug]

40. Paul Ryan is rmoney's secret son.

His real name is Kolob Willard Ryan.
