I want more than anything to believe the Gloria Allred bombshell is legit

[YayArea]

But I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think it's a good idea to pin our hopes on that.

[Chemisse]

1. Link?

[Calypso0956]

2. I agree~

Would be nice for a giant hand to come out of the sky and chase Romney.

Kind of Yellow Submarine-ish.

[ProSense]

3. Why exactly are people pushing this crap?

Drudge is lying wingnut asshole.

[leftofcool]

6. Yes, Drudge is but, there are GOP groups extremely worried about this

I have been reading about this from places I usually do not read and the opposition seems to be worried enough to put out an all call for people to write to the RNC. I think this is all speculation and the meeting between Obama and Allred was nothing but just what she said it was. You have to admit that it is fun to watch the GOP squirm. The bigger question is not what Drudge said but why is the opposition so nervous about this.

7. Sounds like a head fake,

an attempt to build up Drudge's credibility.

He's a liar, a pro-RW hack. He's not building up anxiety to hurt Republicans. Bank on it.

[leftofcool]

11. Probably so but there was that incident with Romney and the Mormon woman in the hospital.......

[DCBob]

14. Well, Gloria hasnt denied it either..

she only said "I have no comment at this time about Mr. Drudge's Tweet. I don't discuss meetings with potential clients."

Why would she use the word "potential" if there wasnt anything to the story at all?

[pnwmom]

8. Maybe because of the Meg Whitman case?

[ProSense]

10. ?

Like I said, this is an attempt to hype Drudge's credibility, and people would be foolish to buy into it.

[pnwmom]

12. I'm not buying the story, but I understand why it's getting a bit of traction.

Allred has been successful is derailing campaigns in the past. RadarOnline.com reports that Allred launched a last minute strike on Republican Meg Whitman's campaign for governor of California by representing for a disgruntled ex-housekeeper. During a crucial moment in the campaign, Allred brought forth Nicky Diaz, who claimed that she was fired by the Whitman family because she was an illegal immigrant. Whitman went on to lose the election, with Democrat Jerry Brown capturing the win.

4. can you give a hint of what you are talking about? what gloria allred bombshell?

[Ecumenist]

5. What are you talking about? We have NO EARTHLY idea what you're talking about...

[pnwmom]

9. There have been rumors of an "October surprise," as reported here:

http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/19154

Gloria Allred, an American lawyer best known for taking on high-profile and controversial cases, is said to be preparing her so-called "October surprise", in which she'll strike Mitt Romney's chances of winning the presidential election by uncovering some kind of secret or scandal. The Republican party is said to be bracing themselves for the potentially damaging revelation that Allred, a big supporter of Barack Obama, is rumored to be readying.

13. It's getting very, very late, if there even is a "bombshell"

I mean, c'mon...........

[JSK]

16. Remember in 2000?

The story of Bush's arrest for drunk driving in Maine, and how it had been covered up? Didn't that story break just a few days before the election? Incredibly, people discounted it , even though it had really happened, because it was thought to be a political attack.

C'mon, Gloria, Larry Flint, somebody... it you've got the goods on Mittwit, it's time to step up.

[NYC Liberal]

17. That's why anything has to break more than a few days before the election.

These things need time to sink in, for some ads to run, etc. Not a long time, but a few weeks.

15. only radical right websites push this. why?
