Bill's October surprise?
Über Clintonista Harold Ickes told Mark Halperin of Time's The Page tonight:
WeThis has been a major Clinton theme and I find it
don’t know enough about Senator Obama yet. We don’t need an October
Surprise. And (the chance of) an October Surprise with Hillary is
remote.
strange that no one has challenged them on these comments.
Who will be the first member of the press to ask Sen Clinton to guarantee the American people that there will be no more blue dress moments? How many times has Bill embarrassed the party and the nation, not to mention Hillary, with his philandering? Does anyone honestly believe he has been a faithful husband since Monica?
If the Clintons are going to ask voters to speculate on Obama, should we not ask for guarantees from her and her husband?
If history is prologue we have every reason to be concerned.

Oh, please. She's been vetted!
For this question, we can look back to a 1999 interview:

So there you have it. Yes, he's a serial philanderer, and yes she's foolishly trusted him more than once when he fooled her into thinking he had gotten it out of his system, but ... look over there! Leadership!

I agree, except that I don't believe she's been fooled by Bill, ever. Bill is a necessary means to an end for her. That why I wouldn't be surprised if she leaves him after losing the nomination.

Well, we already know the Clintons have a November "surprise" happening in Los Angeles.

Why are you guys so scared, that you have to put this kind of thing onto the Clintons? If Obama has the nomination, which of course it looks like he does, then you should be watching your back for Republicans.....
