As the United States quickly moves toward the Presidential Elections many people are waiting for an “October Surprise” – an event that will drastically change the election in favor of one candidate. The major event influencing the race today is the financial bailout currently working its way through Congress. Without a doubt the economic turmoil has favored Barack Obama, showing his lead in the polls growing as the uncertainty continues to grow, but will there be another event to swing the momentum in favor of McCain?
Maybe an Israeli attack on Iran?
Earlier in the year Israel apparently asked the United States for permission to attack Iranian nuclear facilities but was denied by the Bush administration. As Iran progresses with the nuclear program Israel feels, more and more, their very existence is threatened. As a result, the Israeli government will do what they feel is best for their safety – attack Iran.
Will they do so before the election? Is so, will this be the “October Surprise” that swings the favor to McCain or will the US public move even closer to Obama?
