A couple of sites, and probably more than a couple, are speculating on the type of "October Surprise" the administration can be expected to unveil in an effort to minimize the impending damage of the upcoming elections. A quick Google search of the term yields 9.88 million hits.
High on the list is speculation on the killing or capture of Osama bin Ladin.
I continue to believe that Osama has been dead for some time now, and is buried in an unmarked grave in the Tora Bora mountains. “Finding” the grave site would certainly be a winner, and blaming Bush for keeping it secret would also help.
Massive and overt vote fraud to protect the Senate, and complete refusal of the justice dept to even look in to it would certainly dismay the voters. Protecting the gains of the revolution, as they said in Nicaragua. At this point, the House is probably a lost cause for the Dems, but that’s not to say they’ll go softly into the night.
The September jobs report is being delayed into October, which will get the temporary poll workers listed as “jobs created” and the October report is being put off until after the election so the loss of those jobs won’t show up just before election day.
Several states have been given permission to delay sending out absentee ballots to servicemen until probably too late to get them back in time to be counted.
An extension of the Bush tax cuts would help the administrations image, and the media can be counted on to not mention that this is an admission that the Republicans (some of them anyway) were right all along. Do not expect such an extension to be long lived.
Ric's Rulez is soliciting speculation as to the nature of such a surprise, but feel free to speculate here.

I suppose Obama could order the National Guard, or the Border Patrol, to "protect" every polling place against harassment of the "protected" class (You recall where Reid/Pelosi defined hate crimes as against the protected class - essentially anyone non-white and heterosexual) - or even undue presence of the dreaded white folk.
Obama could use an Executive Order to declare amnesty for illegals and deem each voted straight ticket Democrat.
Sec't Clinton could reveal a conspiracy to arm white folk against the protected class - and sign that UN disarming treaty. That should divide the nation.
Perhaps the Democratic party could campaign that every Democrat is really African-American or Latino, and that the Minority-hating, All-white Republican candidates are intending to end social security for aging minorities.
SEIU could take over all polling places, and "dissuade" non union members from voting.
ACORN, whatever they call themselves this week, could forge more absentee ballots than you could shake a stick at. Remember Obama comes from Chicago, "Vote Early, Vote Often".
Obama could redesign the jobless numbers like Clinton did. Decide that unemployed over six weeks isn't long term - but no longer part of the work force (which might actually be true, as taxes and regulations continue to actively derail any chance at economic recovery).
Obama could authorize ACORN to pay $200 per voter, per visit to the polls, for likely-Democrat people that might or might not be registered to vote in any of the precincts they cavalcade through.
Obama could declare Fox News a financial institution, decide it is failing, and take it over.
Obama could announce he is being awarded another Nobel Prize, for his diplomacy in stopping the war in Iraq.
Obama could announce free wideband internet hookups under ObamaCare - if the Republicans don't wreck the plan. He could announce that Republicans don't like ObamaCare because it hurts their rich pocket books, and because it helps folk living in the inner cities - that opposing ObamaCare is racist, that there is no other reason a right-thinking person would oppose it. Wait - didn't he already do that? I suppose he could stir that pot again.
Obama could announce that Republicans oppose his plan to make wine (heart-healthy, you know) eligible for food stamps, and Republicans intend to tattoo minorities to identify them for low-paying jobs.
