So What's the Democrats' "October Surprise ?"

So what's going to happen on, say, Thursday ?

I'm talking "October Surprise." You've gotta know the Democrats and their allies have one. The chattering classes: that is to say the journalists, the lawyers (well, most of them anyway), intellectuals and other scribblers, and the cultural elite both here and abroad HATE this President, and it's not too much to say they'd do anything to unseat him.

In 1992, the Friday before the election, Iran-Contra Special Prosecutor Lawrence Walsh indicted former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, which probably fatally wounded President Bush Sr's electoral chances the following week.

In 2000, the 11th hour leaking (probably by Democratic partisans) and publication of information about the current President Bush's 30 year old DUI conviction came within a whisker of putting Gore in the White House.

Too many journalists, bureaucrats, lawyers, and prosecutors don't like this President. If they've got ANYTHING, or can manufacture something, they most assuredly will. Thursday afternoon could be interesting...
