The only "October Surprise" we are going to get this year is going to be the smoking crater where our economy used to be. Just remember, Hoover was a Republican and those who forget the past cause us to repeat it again. Good job W!
Lincoln was a Republican too...

You want a recent reference to a inexperienced Democrat working over the economy, just take a look at Jimboy Carter....He was fantastic.
