Can YOU Guess Rove's "October Surprise?"

I can think of a thing or two. Like maybe a brand new war with Iran? Or maybe another terrorist attack right here at home -- just to make sure we forget all about the ruling party's failures: Iraq, Afghanistan, human rights abuses, domestic spying, torture, rendition, corruption and all that juicy good stuff that most probably would send more than a November election vote or two the Democrats way.

Let's make a contest of this: who can come up with the best Rovian October Surprise? If, come October, your October Surprise is THE October Surprise, well -- YOU WIN!

So come on people, put on your most devious, low-brow, sleazy-slime, thinking caps and submit your best ideas for an October Surprise to theunknowncandidate@comcast.net or, better yet, post your "October Surprise" in the comments section at the end of this post.

Background:

Conservative websites claim Rove has been promising GOP insiders an 'October surprise.'

Raw Story reports:

According to two conservative websites, White House political strategist Karl Rove has been promising GOP insiders that there will be an "October surprise" before the midterm elections.

"In the past week, Karl Rove has been promising Republican insiders an 'October surprise' to help win the November congressional elections," reports Ronald Kessler for Newsmax.

Newsmax further reports: "Rove is not saying what the October surprise will be. Asked if he would elaborate and give his thinking about the coming elections, Rove told NewsMax that his take largely parallels what RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman said in a Sept. 5 NewsMax story.

As for the October Surprise, Rove said, 'I'd rather let the balance [of plans for the elections] unroll on its own.'"
