Here's the October Surprise......

[Postman]

as described by Thom Hartmann....

The Democrats get stampeded toward this massive Wall Street Bailout and at the last second the Republicans (John McCain included) veer off, knowing full well all along that the majority of the American people are against this thing, and what the American people see are.......

Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and George Bush handing over the keys to the kingdom to Wall Street Casino Operators....It's all the Democrats' fault for giving away the store, we Republicans were against it, Vote John McCain in November to stop those damn Democrats from destroying the country...

[Jackpine Radical]

1. I think Obama's too smart, by a long shot, to fall for that.

And I can't magine the rest of the pack resisting him on this. My bet is that he's calling the shots right now.

[ColbertWatcher]

3. Especially since it's such a pathetic scheme.

Any kid can see through it.

I'm sure they anticipated it, too.

[AllieB]

2. I think the Dems know how to play dirty now.

I think Obama and the Dems will come out of this and McCain will look like the idiot.

[ColbertWatcher]

5. More of an idiot, McCain will look like more of an idiot. n/t

[fulllib]

4. Obama knows exactly what is up

[RoccoR5955]

8. Agreed. I just think that...

...he's not leading on publicly that he is on to their game. He's way too smart for this carp.

6. That's just Hartman getting in touch with his inner Mike Malloy.

7. I really like Tom. In fact, I've been saying as much as well...

11. Wow.

If the Democrats allow this shit to happen, they deserve to have their heads handed to them.

9. McCain is not that smart... he's over-reacting to everything....

like a metal ball in a pinball machine.

If there's some Svengali behind all this,
I have no idea who.

The republican frankenstein financial freak
has grown huge, and no one can account for it
or explain it.

But McCain's over his head...

[Tutankhamun]

10. And McCain the "maverick" saves the day!

McCain has done for the word "maverick" what Hitler did for the little tiny moustache.

[FreakinDJ]

12. I think the Dems already see this happening

They should toss in a Pioson Pill for the Republicans - "Regulation"

13. Here's the real October surprise.
