So, no October surprise after all?

Was it the Bin Laden tape? Was it a hoax? Is something going to blow up tomorrow? I would thnk that is they were planning something they'd have done it by now.....

Opinions?

It's too late. The october surprise was the explosives in Iraq story. It was supposed to run last night, but got blown early.

Wasn't the "October Surprise" a Rove assertion?

If so, how would the explosives story benefit the GOP?

you don't have to be Karl Rove to run an October Surprise. And I'm not sure he said HE would be running one, only that one would be run.

Karl Rove: 'We've Got a Couple of Surprises' for Kerry

President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, said Wednesday that the Bush-Cheney campaign is planning some October "surprises" for challengers John Kerry and John Edwards.

"We've got a couple of surprises that we intend to spring," Rove told ABC radio host Sean Hannity while explaining that he intends to wage an aggressive campaign no matter what the polls show.

"It's 34 days [till the election] and that's a long time in politics, and when you get complacent you lose," the top White House adviser said.

"We've got to stay on the offense. We've got to continue to press the battle onto the turf that they won in 2000: the Pennsylvanias, the Michigans and the Wisconsins and Iowas and Minnesotas and New Mexicos and Oregons.

"And we've got to make sure that we lose none of the close states that we won in 2000 - Florida or Ohio or Colorado or Nevada or New Hampshire.


"And you've also got to have a couple of surprises - and we've got a couple of surprises that we intend to spring."

Asked if he expected the Kerry-Edwards campaign to engage in dirty tricks, Rove cited Democrat claims in recent days about a secret Bush plan to reinstate the draft.

"This is all bunk. It is a sign of the desperate straits they find themselves in and their willingness to discard the truth and say anything they think that will get them a vote," he said.

If there was an "October surprise," nobody was paying attention. It's football season, there's more people watching Sportscenter in favor of the news.
