October Surprise in This Campaign Puts Republicans On the Spot

By Catherine Dodge and Jay Newton-Small

<snip>

Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The October surprise came early this election year and has Republicans on the defensive, searching for a way to change the subject from congressional scandals and an unpopular war.

This was supposed to be the month when Republicans pulled out all the stops, painting Democrats as weak on fighting terrorism and highlighting congressional accomplishments on national security before the Nov. 7 elections.

Instead, they face a sex scandal involving former Representative Mark Foley, a book attacking the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq war and a new intelligence report that concludes the war is fueling terrorism. All this has jeopardized the standing of such prominent Republicans as House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

``We had the closest thing to momentum that we've had in a year 10 days ago,'' said Ed Rogers, a Republican strategist. ``What's lost here is the opportunity for any kind of unified attack on the national Democrats for the next few days, in an environment where days matter.''

:rofl: :rofl:

House Republicans are trying to change the subject to matters such as the economy.

``Voters vote their pocketbooks, and ultimately the strength of the economy will be the ace in the hole for Republicans,'' Gutknecht said.

While he said last week's events are ``more distractions than they are pivotal to the outcome of November's elections,'' Gutknecht added that ``it could get dangerous'' if those distractions pile up.

The economy? That won't fly either

So character really doesn't count, does it? I don't think we should wait for an apology from the Repugs, however.
