What could be OUR October surprise? [View All]

I need an optimistic thread. ;)

What are the possibilities for our October surprise?

1) John McCain decides to give it to Bush for everything Bush did to him. In October, he pulls a Jeffords and turns Independent, endorses Kerry, and encourages all those who have voted and supported him to vote for Kerry instead of Bush because Bush has no integrity.

2) The press after over three years of being denied access, punished, treated horribly, etc, starts to boil over. They had great years with Clinton, but the current administration's tactics of bullying and punishing them have taken their toll. It's October, they have nothing to lose... Beginning with the White House Press Corp, they all reach into their pants, respectively find their balls, and start acting like journalists instead of transcribers. Then, the rest of the media (except Fox and a few others) unleash hell on the Bush administration. They ask the questions they were too scared to ask for fear of retribution. They make the statements they feared making before. They open a supersized can of whoop ass.

Humor me. What other October surprises could work in our favor?
