The Rethug's Oct. Surprise will consist of:
three things....


1. Suddenly, gas prices will really plunge!

2. Suddenly, the war will practically be over, or just enough of a withdrawal!

3. Suddenly, (the toughest)
...there will be some emergency stimulus package for all! Or something that will make the economics situation less horrible, and the rethugs will take all the credit!


BUT, in spite of these things...IF they were to happen, I have a tremendous amount of hope that our country will STILL do the right thing and vote for OBAMA!!!!!

1. Unless they capture a leprechaun there is zero chance of number 3.

I think they are going to hardcore race bait in the last 3-5 days and then goes as hard as they can on vote suppression.

2. They can only realistically pull off number 2, I think.

And it wouldn't be the first time that they pretended a war was going to end... ('68 and '72)

3. The October surprise will be...
Surprise Republicans!! Continued failing polls for McCain/Palin!!!

It will only be a surprise, because the Republicans are too dense to get it NOW, that
this is a failed campaign based on lies, shiny objects and rotten baloney that Americans
aren't buying.

Surprise!!!

4. # 1 always happens when a republican is about to leave office...
that's been my observation anyway. When Boosh won his first term, I said to my Texan republican friend, quite angrily I might add, "get ready for $3.00 a gallon gas!!!!!" She thought I was crazy, and being irrational.....

Years later, I said; see, told ya. But not even I expected over $4 a gallon....
