The October Surprise has a long and inglorious history amongst Republicans [or perhaps just in my mind] as an election winning tactic second only to voter supression.
Everyone has been waiting for Bush and Cheney to pull some stunt. But the economy, Sarah Palin, Ashley Todd and the Phillies have distracted us...the Surprise Package has arrived. Bush and Cheney have been pushing ever more into Pakistan with drone aircraft, but haven't yet precipitated a pre-election foreign military crisis that can steal the show from the economy and get McCain elected. Now the attacks are getting nastier, and they have added Syria to the mix. What will be next? Iran? I would bet my 401K on it (need I state the obvious?).
