OK, so what was the October surprise, anyway?

[Bucky]

It came, it saw, but it never conquered. We know Rove had an October surprise; he always has an October surprise. But what the heck was it? I've narrowed it down to a couple of options. Your input is highly welcome.

The October Surprise is...

[Kierkegaard]

1. The surprise was doing nothing while discussions everywhere

centered on 'What's Rove's October surprise?"

[Journeyman]

5. That certainly seemed the plan from my perspective. . .

I can't imagine how many productive hours were wasted in mindless speculation about what Rove was going to do. Every event, every blip in a poll, every shadow was seen by someone as Rove's nefarious plot. Meanwhile, he was sitting at home in his underwear, eating hot dogs and sucking down brewskis, pleased as punch that, though he was probably going to lose in November, he had a passel of Democrats doing his dirty work for him.

2. Genome sequencing takes time... that's why he was distracted.

A focused Rove would have arranged VA Senator Allen to walk on water, just like his jewish ancestor; convinced the public that Harold Ford does NOT date white women because he prefers young white boys; and that Claire McCaskill is really a man.

Kudos to Rove for sequencing the honey bee, but this has been a bad year for him politically.

[Bucky]

4. "...just like his jewish ancestor..." ? Have you been reading DaVinci Code again?

Allen is so totally not the descendant of Christ.

[Buzz Clik]

6. You underestimate Rove's power of suggestion.

He is sooooooo persuasive.

And cute as a button.

10. He's corn syrup.

3. "Lost" one made me laugh.

[RaleighNCDUer]

7. It will be whatever they say it is to explain the sudden shift at the

ballot box, fooling all the pollsters. They will invent a new demographic (they've already used the fundies, the soccer moms, the fundies, the security moms, the fundies, the immigrants, the fundies...)which their GOTV reached in umprecedented numbers in the last two weeks before the election, saving Santorum, Allen and Lieberman.

8. Mmmmmmm.....beans.

9. Iran ,here we come ! Kkkarl found WMD ,fear and greed his ace in the hole

[C_U_L8R]

11. I'l breathe easier after the Friday news dump

I wonder who will drop the tastiest morsel that
everyone will be talking about all weekend long ?

And what will it be?

You know both sides gotta still have a few more bombs to drop.
Oh the anticipation..

[BadgerKid]

12. My hunch is

that the sights are set on Iran after the election -- the R's will either retain power or not yield to legal challenges put forth by the Dems.

[orpupilofnature57]

14. And this will be Just the beginning of project 'Megalomania' We need

decisive wins ,and the first order of business is Impeachment.

[BootinUp]

13. Where is the option

for Rove to send Bush over to Iraq to make a speech on the conviction of Sadaam Hussein and orchestrate some calm city street scenes.
