October Surprise
So the term “October Surprise” was invented by Republicans in 1980 to pre-empt something that never happened. What is it with Republicans and preemption? Why are they so scared of the future? Why do we still talk about an October Surprise? Why do I ask so many rhetorical questions today?

Did you used to read Billmon? He’s popped in again to comment on the latest Osama tape, and I think he is right on the money.
