I’m bogged down with other things at the moment, so I will apologize for making this brief –
I am certain that there will be at least one October surprise, but unfortunately I can’t tell you what it will be. Tops of my list of potentials at the moment are:
– Military build up in the mid-east, with intents to force Syria and Iran into complacent postures. This may result in American boots in Syria, and/or Iranian capitulation to IAEA inspections and possibly even “mothballing” of the Iranian nuclear weapons program (temporarily). An agreement of this kind with Iran would be a big win for campaign Obama, and would also directly benefit Iran, since they would clearly prefer Obama’s (well known) appeasement policy to whatever Romney might do over the next 4 years.
– Gas prices rising to the unsustainable point. This would be a big hit for campaign Obama, and a clear signal that the crony-capitalists have changed their bet to the Romney camp. While this would favor the Romney campaign, it would signal that Romney has ‘signed on’ to certain policy items which will not benefit the American public.
