Could November be the October Surprise!?
All month it's been like "October", but "CONVENIENTLY" right when October ends?

BAM! November! WTF? ...and right before the election!?!?!?

It's a trap!

:scared:

4. Could December be October????
The only thing that I can see that could possibly counted as the October surprise was the McCain mortgage plan that he "announced" during the debate. The problem for McCain is that he messed up the announcement of it and as a result lost anybody who could have theoretically benefited. He had the added disadvantage that as well as sensible economists, the RNC did not like the policy.

His October surprise flopped.

Edited to add;
Apparently the satire went right over my head.


Original reply;
mclame has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Obama and nothing sticks. They've got nothing, and anything he lobs at this point just comes across as pure desperation.

Here's some unsolicited advice for whoever wants it. Early Vote. Then get a couple of friends and head over to the nearest college campus to where you live and encourage them to vote. Be charming, but emphasize how IMPORTANT their vote is. Remind them also to not wear anything campaign related. If you're working the polls, put a few large and extra large shirts in your car and loan them out to anybody going in to vote wearing Obama campaign attire.


Also, make sure everyone in your neighborhood has a ride to the polls.


Quit the handwringing. Get up, get out and get Obama elected.

13. Just got in here....
didn't know satire was the theme for the evening. I scanned the site and looked like panic was taking over.


I love a good piece of satire as well as the next person, sometimes it's just hard to tell satire from full blown panic around here.
