Do not plan on a Gloria Allred October surprise

OK, she had the goods on Meg Whitman and Herb Cain, and they both imploded. (Neither one of them was going to win anyway, however).

But none of us should make any plans for Allred delivering this time. If she does, great! But it would be irresponsible and polyannaish to breath heavy about what she may or may not have.

I still remember "Fitzmas" and the "Downing Street Memo", both in 2005.

The Killian memos in 2004 turned out to be a fraud, and John Kerry was blamed, even though he had nothing to do with it.

For now, stick with the actual campaign and what we do know.

I wish I could.

Real election. Real facts, please. Rumors are a waste of time.

That alone tells me Allred has nothing and is reinforced by the fact that Allred denies she has anything.

Drudge is watching us speculate about this and laughing his ass off.

I'm concentrating on more important things to do with getting Pres. Obama re-elected.
Oh, and of course, watching the Cardinals hopefully wrap it up against the SF Giants.
