There will be no October Surprise, or at least not as we know them. There might be a weak, impotent and flaccid attempt at one. But it will not even remotely come close to succeeding.

Obama is throwing the race.

I think it is more the race had thrown Fauxbama. The internet and the obvious, like $4 gas has gotten between him and his sycophants. Too many see the totally empty shirt, the girly man in it and the angry wookie shoving him along. All he wants now is a nice sinecure trying to indoctrinate collegs student in the wondrous benefits of Marxism. With any justice whatever, they will laugh at him and demand their tuition back so they can take useful classes in Womyn's Studies so they can get their own sinecures. Unfortunately, Fauxbama's Monetary policies have reduced the value of the dollar to nearly the Turkish Lira of ten years ago. Zip, Zilch, Nada.
Soon a single .22 cartridge will buy a dozen eggs, while a dollar won't buy one.

Gerry N.

Were that Romney was Washingtonian. George had a legendary temper. I have a mental image of him standing on the dais on Inauguration Day, and pointing his long arm in a direction leading out of town as he stares down the Indo-Kenyan. "Go Sir, you are not wanted here."

I agree with Randy, Obama wants to lose. He never wanted a job that requires work and the next few years are going to be worse than the last few years. Obama doesn't want what is coming to fall on him, he and the other democrats want it to fall on the republicans.

I do think the woman Obama's strength is for you to feel sorry for him is a interesting idea.

I'm more interested in the sausage-making that went on at the RNC's shut-down of Ron Paul-bots. It was a strong-arm Wisconsin Mafia pulled by the WI Triumvirate of Romney, Ryan, and Reince. While properly outraged at the unfairness of it, I'm glad to see these boys have ice-water in their veins. They're gonna need it if they win.

Republicans who understand what a power-grab looks like amongst their own rarely translate it into a power-grab from their opponents. They rarely know what power is for, once they obtain it. Obama has shown them how it's done. And it may take an equal amount of extra-Constitutional manipulation to restore order.

I'm still sayin' it: Obama doesn't act like a man who's worried about getting re-elected; and I can take that to mean a whole lot of interesting things.

Joan: Obama doesn't act like a man who knows what side the fly on his underwear goes, and the only thing I can take that to mean is that he's dumb as a bag of hammers, an empty vessel into which a bunch of other people pour stuff.

He's been on a lifelong easy streak, and he's about to crap out. It won't be pretty. We'll see all the class he has, and the lack thereof will make that old pardon seller Clinton look like a statesman.

Damn dyslexia. My mind sees WI and MI interchangeably, but I note that Mitt is from MI, not WI.

So, gonna hafta be the Dairyland Despots, or the Tractor Triumvirate, I guess.

V-Man, are you saying that the One will have himself assassinated so as to be martyred for the Socialist cause? One can only hope.

I wouldn't stand too close to some of our media celebrities either. I don't think the tensile strength of their thin skulls is going to be sufficient to keep some of them them from doing the "Scanners" thing much longer.

I'm saying that Joe Biden is completely expendable. And worth a hell of a lot more dead than alive. Of course, a grazing "wound" to Obama would be a nipple on the sundae, so to speak.

Oh hellno

He thinks he's innit to win

But the "October Surprise" will not be sufficient to carry the day

"Will no one rid me of this troublesome Veep?"

And we all know how that shit ends.

My thoughts exactly. And some of those "interesting things" seem a little scary and a little crazy, until you think of Chicago....

But the observation that Obama is "rough" but not "tough" is dead. spot. on. But rough men often have tough men who do the dirty work for them. I don't think Obama is squeamish about what it takes to grab and maintain power.

Just my two cents...

Slew. The word is slew. There is no slayed. Jeez.

There will be no October Surprise, or at least not as we know them. There might be a weak, impotent and flaccid attempt at one. But it will not even remotely come close to succeeding. Obama is throwing the race.
