12. What was the October Surprise in 2004?
I can't remember what it was back then, my prediction is some kind of estranged family issue for Obama from his fathers side.

14. None of the above...
The August surprise (Russia v Georgia) is all that's gonna happen to bolster McCain.

America doesn't get it. We need to continue degrading our moral authority in the world in order to foment foreign nationalism. This keeps the multinational power brokers in business.

This is not your father's Wall Street anymore...

30. Yep. Wright's book will be the big news in Oct.
Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 01:50 PM by Phoonzang
Even if Obama manages to come back in the polls, Wright's book will sink him before the election.
