Rhat qould be easily provable voting fraud.

I wonder what his driver's license says? He'll have to show it to vote. It could be that the voter ID law is getting ready to backfire on the republicans.

When Gloria asked about the rumor she said something to the effect of "Oh I can't discuss anything form a potiential client." She couldn't have said no comment?

Why? She's not running for public office, who cares what she does in her spare time.

She became involved in the Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal when a women decided to use her as a spokesperson to say that Cain had harassed her (in addition to the women who had received financial settlements for the same complaint while working for him). IF Gloria Allred is involved, it may well be the same kind of deal, or something similar. So far Allred is saying no comment, and Drudge is the one starting the rumor. It may just be Drudge making stuff up to fire up the base--that once again the R's are victims.

I will say this--October surprises are usually pretty ugly, because the best is always saved for right before the election, so the opponent doesn't have time to recover from it.

It's good to keep your spirits high before the big fall.. I hope you have a good support system to hold your hand on November 6, it could be devastating for you...

I don't know--lots of conservative blogs, including Drudge, are freaking out and asking their readers to call the RNC to ask them to do something about it. WTH?? What is the RNC going to be able to do in advance if Gloria Allred trots out someone with major dirt on Romney, especially if they have no idea who it is, or what it's about in advance? That doesn't even make sense. The only case where they could act is if they DO know that something really bad about Romney has been hushed up, that they KNOW that Allred has someone willing to come forward on it, and they want the RNC to proactively address it to take the wind out of Allred's sails. The whole thing is crazy, especially since it's all coming from the republican end. The D's haven't said a word.
