All this concern about an October surprise is misplaced. The U.S. could go to war with Iran or Syria but that’s not going to make people want to vote for Obama who weren’t already going to anyhow. If anything, it will piss off his left-wing base.

But a war with Iran or Syria could cause 0bama to suspend elections for public safety reasons or some such crap. Who would stop him?

Note my post #29.

I absolutely agree with everything you wrote. How I could have felt otherwise is absurd.

On a serious tip: You know this, I know this, but Obama is not that bright. He's counting on the historical precedence of the "Rally 'Round The Flag".
