well we are now in the red zone, election wise. Less than a week and I don't know anyone else feels but to me this is the most potentially dangerous time of the year. All of these "tinfoil hat" scenarios floating around, who knows if one of them will come true for an "October surprise".
1. Bin Laden "found".
2. Claims of Bin Ladin found later refuted post election.
3. Terrorist attack.
4. Small, or aborted terrorist attack the day before the election.
5. WMD "found".
Any of which, if timed right would give the scrotum in office a win. (some argue that a terrorist attack may backfire, much like in Spain, but I think if it is done the day before many people will not be rational come election day)
You name it and lord knows it could happen this year.. Atlantis rises and the ancient lost masters subjugate us to their will? Sure, a long shot but perhaps eh?
...Another list... 5 ways this election could go extra innings to the SCOTUS (supreme court).
-Voting glitches involving electronic or other voting machines
- Litigation over which provisional ballots are valid
- A fight over the Colorado amendment to split the electoral vote
- A tie in the electoral college or a faithless elector
- A terrorist attack that disrupts voting in a swing state
And a small bit of good news. "Undecided voters tend to vote 2:1 for the challenger". Tend is actually equal to about 90% of all elections. So Kerry should get a bounce from the fence sitters. One hopes that is enough to dispose of the current regime.
And one more bad.
