What kind of October surprise could the DEMOCRATS benefit from in October 2010?

[bluestateguy]

I'll save my suggestions for later down the thread.

It is much easier to make an October surprise happen when you control the government. Just remember that.

[yourout]

1. Capture Bin Ladin.

[Terra Alta]

2. another "family values" Republican exposed.

ala Mark Foley in 2006.

[opihimoimoi]

3. The GOPiacs are under very very HEAVY PRESSURE to win something, ANYthing...the suprise will be

their demise as a meaningful Pol Party...

Victim of Bush and his Cheney....the GOP backed them and now they pay in Spades....irony

Oct Suprise is Landslide for DEMS

4. Obama could take on the banking cartel.

That would definitely qualify as a surprise.

[tekisui]

5. Unemployment at less than 6%.

That would equal a landslide.

[merh]

6. Everyone in the nation wins the lottery.

[Ken Burch]

9. uh...that didn't work too well in "Bruce Almighty"

And that was just everyone in Buffalo.

[Union Yes]

7. Announcement of a nationwide campaign by Dems to repeal "Free Trade". (NAFTA etc) nt

[FLAprogressive]

15. yep

[lib2DaBone]

8. I'm not even sure the U.S. will exist in 2010....

..The goal now is to sell the war against Pakistan. Karzai says he expects the US to be in Afghan for 15 YEARS!

The FBI is now rounding up 5 Northern Virginia American/Pakistani's so we can Rev up some public hatred against Pakistan and keep the terrorism boogeyman alive.

We can see the buildup, but the goal is that the media has to get the American people to sign on to a war against Pakistan.

11. "The FBI is now rounding up 5 Northern Virginia American/Pakistani's"

Oh they wouldn't be that transparent would they?

If they're looking for Pakistani's in Northern Virginia, they're clearly "Company men" from Langley. But then the ISI has always been a franchise, so that's not surprising.

10. anything related to improvement in jobs

[bluestateguy]

12. Maybe some tinkering with the BLS statistics?

[marshall]

13. Michelle announces the immiment birth of Barack Obama III

That would put family values at the forefront and it would warm the heart of even the coldest teabagger.

[RB TexLa]

17. That one should be saved for October 2012

[bluestateguy]

18. Uh, her biological clock may not agree by then

nt

[RB TexLa]

19. science has made biological clocks a thing of the past

[Oregone]

14. jobs

[leftstreet]

16. Single Payer Healthcare n/t
