Are the Robo-calls Rove's October Surprise?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Did I miss Rove's promised October Surprise? With the exception of the robo-calls, I don't see any staged event that would turn this election. Anybody have any ideas of what Karl meant when he said there was an October surprise on the way?

1. that's all he's got - The 72-Hour Plan

Rove's jumped the shark.

2. in my newspaper this morning there 4 different stories about republican dirty tricks

including robo-calls, i hope voters know whats going on and they blame the right party.

3. Considering the RepubliCONS are going to be fined $500.....

for each "robocall" that is deemed illegal, that should be a good start for the 2008 Presidential Campaign. I LOVE to take their stinking money because it's the only thing they understand. :evilgrin:

4. here's what I want to know

How does a piece of crap like Rove get a ham sandwich outside the Whitehouse? Democratic service workers are in contact with this ahole on a daily basis, and yet he is not hounded from the streets of Washington DC?

I have alway wondered about this. I have wondered why no waiter considered it his duty and worth losing his job to tell that jackass (or any other) to carry his own luggage, get his own coffee, or simply to go screw himself.

5. I can answer that question.

Because, in Washington, as in any small town, "losing a job," is not the whole picture. Being blacklisted is the main concern.

6. Saddam's sentencing wass the October surprise

You see...we finally got the guy behind 911! And he will pay. Now stay the course!
