1. This is a great idea
My guess is that Bush will admit he was AWOL and agree to accept appropriate punishment. This is his attempt to appear more human and reach out to undecided voters.

I know I'm dreaming, but wouldn't it be cool if this happened??

3. Nope ... I doubt if it would work .
I am too afraid that it might work and shift swing voters back to his evil way .

2. I already said this and many disagreed, but...
I think we're going to see "October Bin Laden" pulled out of wherever they've been keeping him (or his dead body).

4. I agree
But I didn't enter this idea in the contest cause I figured it would be a pretty popular entry.

5. Too Many People suspect Bin Laden will be captured
I think it might be something like a quick, successful strike against Iran's Nuclear Reactors. Or another Military Operation of some sort (a raid, not a war) I could just see some Embassy somewhere being threatened and in a dramatic, nationally televised rescue the marines or special forces or somebody swoop in and "save the embassy" or something like that. Basically, a Grenada. When Reagan went into Grenada (in October but not in an election year) his poll numbers soared.

10. They'd fly her to Europe
for a "vacation," and no one would be the wiser.

9. This is linked from the Al Franken Show weblog,
some of Al's guesses are:

Jenna engaged to an armless Iraq vet
Neil Bush gets assassinated
Osama is definitely dead
Kerry really wasn't in Vietnam
