**IF** Gloria Allred’s “OCTOBER SURPRISE” happens....

.. it will be tomorrow, I would say around 2-4pm EST.

Just in time to spice up the debate.
Might even get Mittens so spooked he tries to call it off.
Or the GOPigs to try to call it off because "the Democrats are trying to taint the debate".

I'm stocking up on popcorn

I checked out all the links provided in your link. I am still confused as to WHY people seem to think that Allred has anything!?!? Nobody seems to be quoting her - they are just freaking out!

he Tweeted the other day that she had an October surprise. Allred doesn't confirm or deny it. Meanwhile, the wing nuts are going wild and Henny Penny Democrats aren't far behind.

or at least anything that will make a difference.

If Romney's horrible stand on just about everything can't convice people that he is wrong for the job, I can't imagine anything Gloria Allred has will make much difference.

Obama has to shine big time tomorrow night and show everyone what an opportunistic twit Mitwit is. That will count more than any piece of gossip.

"I have no comment at this time about Mr. Drudge's Tweet. I don't discuss meetings with potential clients."

If the statement above is accurate, I find it a bit curious. Though I agree, nothing to get worked up about until more credible information is available.

I agree with you that it would be before the debate if Allred's goal were entirely political and she was trying to rattle Romney. But as an attorney her primary loyalty is to her client, not to Obama (however much she may support him). IF she has a client with a story involving Romney such as gender discrimination in the workplace and plans to go on the air with a press conference and interviews, I think she'd look for a relative lull in the action which might be a couple of days after the debate coverage dies down.
