An October Surprise to Sink Obama

Posted on May 7, 2008 by Riley

Team Clinton is foreshadowing what Virtucon’s own Rittinger has been saying here for quite a while.

Her aides also tried to stoke concerns yesterday among elected officials and party leaders, known as superdelegates, about whether Obama could win in November, with one warning of an “October surprise” that could ruin his chances.

. . .

A Clinton adviser said the situation was increasingly becoming one in which “she cannot be nominated and he can’t get elected.”

The only question is whether Team Clinton’s fingerprints will be on this when it eventually does come out.

This is the first time that Team Clinton is publicly alluding to this in the media.  Just remember, Rittinger has also warned that Team Clinton has the goods to sink Marky Mark, too, and that is the real reason why he dropped out of the presidential race.  Fall 2008 could be quite the scandal-ridden time for Democrats…

    If she’s got more to drop, she better do it soon. Wright did not kill him, so I don’t know what can.

  2. Riley, on May 8th, 2008 at 2:21 pm Said:

    I think she realizes it is too late for her in ‘08 and is aiming for 2012 instead now. If that is indeed the case, best to sink him later.

    Precisely, you have to remember that when dealing with the Clintons they are always looking over the horizon. Love them or hate them, the Clintonistas have always had a talent for thinking a couple of moves ahead. And while they did get caught flatfooted by Obama–well actually, Mark Penn screwed things up so badly that he should never get another campaign job as long as he lives–once they pushed Penn aside, they have actually done one of the best rear guard actions I have ever witnessed.

    They were ready to hit Obama with the kitchen sink last week when they thought they could possibly beat expectations in North Carolina. When they saw that Obama had a firewall in the form of 55% of the Dem Primary voters being black, they backed off that. Now the game is simple–they blow Obama out in West Virginia and Kentucky and try to finish close in Oregon. Despite the MSM’s protests, such an event brings us back to where we were after Pennsylvania. Then you might see some of the stuff they have on Obama. If the Party Establishment moves against her anyway then the Clintons have a decision to make. Do they demand the VP slot in exchange for burying the goods they have on Obama or do they figure Obama is a loser in November and they work to undermine him–like they did to both Al Gore and John Kerry–and wait till 2012.

    If Obama had any brains–and at this point I think that despite his Ivy League pedigree, Barry O has shown himself to be a not particularly bright, thin-skinned, petulant idiot–he would beg Hillary to take a place on the ticket and promise her a Dick Cheney-level of power in his Administration. But he because he is both thin skinned and petulant, he won’t and sometime in September or October he will find that he has been done in by a Howard Wolfson knife between the ribs.

    And by the way, I’m not saying he is a winner with Hillary on his ticket–he’s no better than a 50/50 proposition in that case. However, if he goes it without her he is a lead pipe cinch loser who will get blown out in Florida and lose Pennsylvania and Michigan on his way to a not particularly close loss.

    Perhaps all this info will come out:

    Could the surprise be about the cocaine and murder of Donald Young, the choirmaster at Obama’s Church.

    I particularly enjoyed reading “Rittinger”’s post. Thoughtful and makes a few good points. I don’t know how prophetic it may prove to be, but it has factual integrity…. If Obama wins the nomination, John McCain will surely be the next president. Back in 2005 while visiting Baghdad with Hillary Clinton, he was asked by Meet the Press’s Tim Russert what he thought of Hillary as president. His response: “I am sure that Sen. Clinton will make a good president”!

    No need for October surprise he will sink himself before hand.

    I watch this person and say my Lord why did they pick him? He has not a clue but talking points put in front of him.

    If you get to substance with hard questions about real situations, he acts condescending as if you have no right to ask. With attitude of you must coronate me because I am a black man. If that is so then let us put Allen Keys in his place and I would happily vote for him.

    He does not know history that in no way could a member of his family liberate the concentration camps as claimed unless they fought with the Red Army. If he had said that then maybe I would have believed it being his socialist Marxist agenda.

    He is toast in November

  11. Joann, on September 18th, 2008 at 11:51 am Said:

    I just got this today could this be it?? HOW horrible if TRUE!!!!!

    On or about October 5th, Joe Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing
    health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary Clinton. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10-2.

    There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info.
    Generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there
    to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. I have
    already seen a few short blurbs about this – the ‘health problem’ cited in
    those articles was aneurysm. Probably many of you have heard the same
    rumblings.

    However, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like
    this Obama strategy will be a go. Therefore, it seems that the best
    strategy is to get out in front of this Obama maneuver, spell it out in
    detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.

    send this info out to as many people as you can – post about it on websites
    and blogs – etc.

    My God, what a repulsive website. If you people want to practice and promote this kind of passive-aggressive racism and spew such foul propaganda, why not just join up with the KKK? Or maybe you already did…

  13. Sith Lord, on October 1st, 2008 at 8:59 pm Said:

    I say if there is any information negative it needs to be published immediately! Americans need to know its presidential candidates. There is way too much we dont know about Senator Obama. His “ties” to some very disturbing figures needs to be exposed. The media keeps that one out of our living rooms for some strange reason. (LOL)

    About the “bail out”, everyone should read this, very interesting with things you will not hear about.

    On or about the 15th of October Barrack Husien Obama will come out of the closet and reviel his gay tendecies, As everyone knows his begining education was musilum and musilum’s believe women are for procreation and man on man is for recreation.This is the October Surprise the Clintons have known about and are holding back on. John McCain is trying to keep things respectful.

    The ‘October Suprise’ is, finally, the truth about all the illegal, underhanded and immoral things Obama and Crew have done to fool the American Electorate. I can’t wait – - truth always wins over lies.

    The October Surprise is that it will be revealed BO is not a US citizen and therfore ineligible to be the President of the US. Check out Obama crimes…He’s going down

  19. Dick, on October 29th, 2008 at 9:51 am Said:

    There is more to the October surprise then you know. I believe that this issue with his sealed BC was planned all along by the DNC. They knew that they could not field anyone but Obama who could win the election. They are willing to out right lie and cheat just to get him in office in order to create a super majority. Once in office they know that they will not be able to keep him there because the fraud will eventually become his undoing. This will ultimately ensconce Biden and this was the plan all along. Now here is the tie in: remember when Biden said Mark my words his presidency would be challenged? Then he went on to say it would not be apparent that we did the right thing but trust us? (I’m paraphrasing) It is becoming evident to me that the democrats are willing to violate our constitution regardless of the price.

    ok – conspiracy theorists – it’s Oct 29. Where’s the surprise? LOL
