See this link for what an October surprise is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_surprise
What's it going to be for October 2006? What is the story that the Republicans, members of the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld war-profiteering cartel will pull out in October 2006 to show that Republicans should be elected? The WMD's found? They already tried that (Senator Rick Santorum botched that one good.) Osama finally killed? (Actually it will be the burned-beyond-recognition body of some Afghani civilian.) What will it be this year?

Great question!! I agree that it will be highly interesting to see what happens this fall as Republicans fall over one another in a bid to get re-elected. I think most likely that you will see either the Republican party play the hero for some terrorist attack (that they most likely sponsored), or it will be something to do with Bush "amazingly" finding a way to reduce fuel prices. Though come to think of it, Bush could always fall back on the mailed check to the american household that ends up driving the deficit totally out of orbit.

If we knew, it wouldn't be a surprise.
My guess: Tehran will thumb its nose at the UN in another day or so. Russia and China will oppose any & all kinds of weak sanctions against Iran. The cease-fire in Lebanon will break down to distract the attention of the UN security council. The UN peacekeeping force will at first try to keep the peace, but fail and depart. And the US will send an unequivocal message to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by taking out the Natanz uranium enrichment facility.

Bat-boy and the Alien (from the World Weekly News) will officially endorse the Republican party giving The Bush Regime about the only support It'll have by then. They'll claim that the Alien told them about secret plans that Hugo Chavez has for cutting off its oil supply to America and they'll use that as a pretext to invade Argentina (not realizing that Chavez is the President of Venezuela)

If there grew to become into one, it would have already got come out. Obama might have one on standby, yet he's the only one that would desire to. October surprises basically artwork if the guy at the back of interior the polls is close sufficient to capture back up and overtake the chief while the marvel comes out. McCain won't in any respect be that close. even if if something have been to come back out, it basically does no longer drag Obama down sufficient for McCain. McCain is basically too a procedures out of attain, so if he had something to tug Obama down he'd already be utilising it. He has to decelerate Obama's momentum to be waiting to do something, so if he had something he'd be throwing it accessible to easily attempt to maintain up with Obama. If he hasn't used it, its because of the fact there is no longer something to apply. Obama might have something, yet to stay away from looking detrimental he will stay away from utilising it till McCain catches back up. i myself do no longer see McCain catching back up anymore, so Obama might desire to stay away from utilising an October marvel (provided he certainly has one). i do no longer think of the two has one. If one does, it would be Obama and not McCain.

It will either be that they killed Bin Laden or they stopped a huge terrorist attack. It will all be a way for the Republicans to say, "See, this is why you should vote for us. We keep you safe. Democrats will kill you." That is how the Republicans will win again. Then, when Bin Laden turns up alive next April, they will blame it on faulty intelligence from the French. And they will somehow blame Clinton for it as well.

No thanks. I already know what an October surprise is. Besides, the way it's going, nothing is going to surprise anyone.
