As predictions grow that they will take back control of the House, more Republicans see demons around the corner, readying to rob them of victory. The latest buzz is over worries the Democrats will launch an "October Surprise" smear campaign that will sour voters on the GOP. They have two concerns. First is over how the Democrats will use the video they've been taking of Republican candidates' speeches around the country; Democrats are fishing for embarrassing gaffes. Second: the GOP's ties to K Street, and recent reports of boozing with lobbyists.

"All Dems need do is show the Republican track record - let's see; ran the country into a ditch, created a near 2nd depression...."

Really? The leftists crammed down bad mortgages to appease the lower class and buy their votes by refusing to regulagte Freddie and Fannie. That ran the country into its ditch more than anything else.

The left has destroyed the county and if it turns out it's gone forever we'll know who to blame.

Poor GOP ... if only they had money to buy video cameras, hire snoopers and publish that on the internet ... it would even be better if they had their own talk radio network or even a TV channel!

All Dems need do is show the Republican track record - let's see; ran the country into a ditch, created a near 2nd depression, insist tax cuts for wealthy will cost jobs (what josb will we lose if we let the tax cuts expire??) and the fact they don't have a platform to run on except creating jobs by cutting taxes FURTHER for the wealthiest 2%. Oh, yeah, that will make all the sense in the world on main street. Oh, so they'll play on fear and wedge issues just to distract from the real issues and how they don't have a clue how to deal with them. That's all the Dems need to show. Oh and if you can catch John Boehner getting his tan sprayed on, all the better.
