I'm watching CNN and they're talking about Rehnquist's upcoming tracheotomy (which will be great for dramatic effect during his often sinister decisions). A commentator called it an "October surprise." Oh, shit!

I considered our options here. Rehnquist could die and then Bush would get to replace him… ugh. Then again, he's really quite conservative, so all Bush could really do is maintain the current balance, not improve the GOP's position. But if Kerry gets elected…

Could this election be decided by the women on both sides of the abortion debate? Traditionally, registered women are less likely to go to the polls than men, regardless of political affiliation. How do you, dear readers, think this will impact the election?
