The word-on-the-street concerns the October Surprise that everyone knows Karl Rove has planned. The big bloggers are predicting that we will soon be wowed by a spectacular stunt, such as the capture of Osama or a Bush visit to Baghdad.
The former may happen -- but I suspect we would have seen a few hints by now. They do like to lay the groundwork for these things. As for the latter: Such a stunt would be pretty damned dangerous, and would be seen as a stunt, even by Bush supporters. The cost/benefit ratio may work against this idea.
My guess? The Surprise will involve the Kerry campaign -- a frame-up of some sort. The groundwork for this has been laid, if you have been following Drudge.
Either that, or a mini-nuke will take out the Sears tower.
Then again, some folks were screaming that an "October Surprise" was nigh as far back as 1992. (Hell, I was convinced of it, that year.) And in 1996. And in 2000...

Don't be so cryptic--What were you referring to with the Drudge report? I haven't seen anything over there. Spell it out for us slower readers!
Drudge has tried to make a big issue of Teresa Heinz-Kerry's tax returns. I would not be surprised if a last-minute smear paints the Kerrys as financially shady. Drudge also played up the Democratic "election playbook" as a means to instill the notion that the DNC intends to use unfair tactics in Florida.
This election is ALL about smearing the Democrat.
