Rove's October Surprise

Posted on 10/10/2004 6:59:53 AM PDT by trublu

While on Hannity's show, Karl Rove made mention of "a few" October surprises. Have we seen any of them yet?

One is the Afghan elections. Two is John Howard's win in Australia.

I think John Kerry was suprised that his senate record has suddenly become an issue.

B-1 Bob will bring out the proof Kerry desercrated the flag?
B-1 said he had it, time for him to put up or shut up.

You can run but you can not hide!!! I think just exposing Kerry's record on everything is a win for President Bush! I've watched a few of the talking heads get nervous, defensive, and extremely evasive when asked about it, which is somewhat comical. We shall see!

Frankly I wish Rove had not said that. If there are problems on election day, and I'm sure their will be, and Bush wins via a contested election the Dems will say that was Rove's Oct. surprise. In the interview you are quoting Rove said the Republicans would delivers state in the Bush column that will surprise people. I do not think this mean the fix is in but believe me Dems will see it that way.

From what I understand, much like Shock and Awe, you'll know it when you see it.

How about massive Chineese troops on the North Korean Border?

Well, it should be an issue. He has a lot to account for.

Well, that doesn't qualify as an October surprise ... perhaps a belated one. My prediction, for what it's worth ... this election isn't going to be close enough for the 'Rats to contest.

Rove was talking about the EC vote. He has been misrepresented here and elsewhere. He really said nothing about some mysterious "October Surprise."

I know that I heard the interview. I feel however that the way it was phrased could be easily misunderstood.
