Can we guess what the October Surprise Will Be?
Some say Bush will "apprehend" Osama Bin Laden and bring him to justice -- McCain will then take credit for helping.
Others say Osama will appear in a video and declare his support for Barack Obama.
What do others think?

2. I think everyone said the same thing back in 04'.
Didn't happen then, won't happen now.

3. There will be something. I would almost put money on it--either a foreign-policy
blowup (didn't he warn about the Ukraine at the debate? Hmm--they made Georgia happen) or a terra/Osama event. It's a-coming, and I hope Obama is prepared.

4. Whatever it is, it won't work. Besides, I don't think they have one.
They might have thought they did, but they know that it will end up making them look even worse if they use if.

Also, the web-bots say something really big is happening Oct 7. The country will be in a state of shock for five months.

11. They don't have one. If they did - we wouldn't have seen last week...
Last week was the "October Surprise".. about a week or two early. If McCain had an ace in the hole.. he wouldn't have been sweating so much that he had to pull the shenanigans that he did. No reason to suspend a campaign and try to squirrel out of a debate if you already have video of your opponent being endorsed by Osama.. etc.

18. I think this was rumored to be the October Surprise for 2004 and it didn't come off then.
Don't see it happening now.
