There was none. It was a FUD tactic for Democrats to be prepared for *any* news in October to be spun as manufactured to discredit it. It's the democrat's version of "Wag the Dog" used against Clinton.

So for all you "October surprise" chanters - do you feel dumb? Probably not - if you were intelligent you wouldn't have fallen for it in the first place.

I suppose we have 2 more days though, right? :D

I'll admit it - I'm surprised.

Instead of a big october surprise, and a democratic spin campaign, both sides stuck to routine election rigging:)

Only one more real news day until the election. I'll be surprised if there's a surprise, so if there is one, I'll be......dang...so circular.

The day's not over;)

Also there are some loon posts on the pro Bush boards with links to translated documents, but they're pretty lame & about as believeable as the phonied Bush documents.

So a "response/spin" to a outdated NYTimes anti-bush "expose" was an October surprise? I'm surprised at how crappy of an October surprise that was :D I wanted bin Laden in chains, on Foxnews. That's what I was promised.

What, no sex scandal? See, I was hoping for a sex scandal. At my age, that would get me out of bed early and keep me up late at night. I'm so sorry BO has settled. That was a dagger to my heart. :)

It just wouldn't be October without CBS


Also yesterday, CBS, which had planned to break the explosives story on "60 Minutes" on Sunday ? 36 hours before the election ? said it now plans to run a story on the show charging that U.S. troops were sent to Iraq without proper body armor because of Bush's tax cuts, a charge often leveled by Kerry.

CBS is just a left wing tool of the coup driven Stalinists who want to re-gain control of Russia.

On a more realistic note, why haven't one of the networks taken an anti-Fox approach and just started producing blatantly pro-Kerry editorials and views, like Calamity and Colmes or BO? What, you think they are doing that already? I see....

It is not a spin, it is a video showing our troops cutting throught the IAEA seals, showing the explosives to the reporters and then leaving without securing the site...
THe best "spin" is that that the video contains no "spin"....

That is correct. If anyone believed Karl, do they feel dumb?

After all remember the Bush lying to the police officer tape? To bad it came out so late, I think we would have a better nation today if it had made it out sooner.

October surprise?

If Kerry used his noggin;

He'd show that new video of Osama threatening USA and it's peoples then flash to:

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Then maybe a few grizzly Iraq images with mothers at home weeping.:D

We could just 'abuse' the new gay marriage laws - we won't have to prove anything, and our combined tax burden will be lower:D

We'll just be (married) friends with (tax) benefits!

Well, it's early afternoon... time to get drinking.

Or how about all that and then cut to Kerry's stance on gun control. You can show terrorists with ak47s and the poor defenseless Americans under Kerry with pitchforks.
