November 1st Surprise?

[AnnInLa]

Sorry if this is a dupe, but something to watch for today:

From www.atrios.blogspot.com

A rumor from a reliable source suggests that there's a good chance that Tommy Thompson is set to announce that drug reimportation from Canada will be fully legalized.

I'm sure that, if this happens, it'll be a big "read the fine print" bait and switch.

Treat as rumor until confirmed, presumably at a 10AM or so press conference...

...or, more generally, it could be some other major senior pandering drug thing...


...just to add, this is *rumor* as I said. I wouldn't publish unless I thought it was a plausible rumor, but that doesn't mean it's a *true* rumor. I normally don't traffic in too many unconfirmed things, but this close to the election there's value in putting this stuff out there before the fact.
