October Surprise - HuffPost Live
Well, this is interesting. I was on HuffPost Live again this week.
This time we were talking about politics, which if you read my blog a bit you'll know I'm pretty passionate about and, at times, quite active.
The topic was about the "October Surprise" theory. I'm not exactly sure it's just a theory because there always seems to be something that comes up right before an election. However, is it intentional spin?
There is such big money in American politics now that I have to say I think the spin is intentional.
For what it's worth though, I also hope that voters are just as cynical as I am and take surprises with a grain of salt. It would have to be a pretty significant one for me to go, "okay, I'm switching my vote". I think that's the same on both ends of the spectrum. Of course, those in the middle and those who've not decided are the ones they're trying to reach.
You can watch the video below. You can also find it here on the HuffPost Live site.
BTW, I really like the HuffPost Live segments I've seen and have been on. They've managed to get some pretty good hosts.
