Watch for an 'October surprise' in '04

[quinnox]

I predict that no matter who the Democratic nominee turns out to be, there will be an October surprise in 2004. It will either be the sudden discovery and killing of Saddam (if America hasn't got him by then) or Bin Laden will be 'surprisingly' found and killed. This will result in a bump for Bush's poll numbers, which by that time will probably need a lot of help.

1. Well remember, AUGUST of 03 is IMPORTANT for polling

numbers. bush needs his numbers strong to stave support for his selection in 04. The pretense has to be there, so he has to play hero for the next 6 weeks, for the fall numbers to be strong.

Look for more superman business for the next few weeks... This could well be the reason they 'let' the numbers slide off.

2. I agree

August will be the time for some "explosive" event, to get the ball rolling.

3. I agree

All this stuff about Bush and the big lie is and obvious set up.
My guess is they have already found ABC (Atomic, biological or chemical weapons).If they were planted or not it does not matter,and even if not planted yet.They sure as hell will be planted by Bush and/or his KKK or International Nazi connections in short order.

We know where the WMD are because we sold them to the Bush Crime Cabal back when Papa Bush was in office.

4. Well, DUH!! This is a given! Everytime Bush's #'s tank something......

....happens in hopes of poll # recovery. In fact I predict from summer 04 thru Nov 04 we will have pro Bush crap going on almost like clock work.

5. Key for Dems between now and then...

Is to make the rest of America's voters realize what we already know - that you can't trust a single thing from this administration.

7. Maybe Not, an election "too close to call" is easier to fix

8. of course

but his overconfidence that he doesn't need it will be his undoing. they can't SEE the damage they have done. Their donors are HAPPY. the nut-cons ARE HAPPY and there is way more of US who are NOT HAPPY.
