Political guru Dick Morris predicted Saturday that the White House will announce an "October surprise" — a deal with Iran over nuclear inspections before the Nov. 6 election.

Citing an Internet report on WorldNetDaily, a conservative website, Mr. Morris said a deal between the White House and the Iranian regime is in the works to ease sanctions on Iran in return for concessions on the Iranian nuclear program.

Such an agreement, announced before the election, would represent a big foreign policy victory for the president, who has been under pressure from Israel to take a more robust stand against Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The Iranians, Mr. Morris said, may prefer another four years of Mr. Obama to the possibility of a Mitt Romney presidency.

"I think they feel that Romney would assist Israel in attacking them," Mr. Morris said.

"The Iranians have a real history of intervening in U.S. elections," Mr. Morris said in an appearance Saturday on Fox News. "Bear in mind that in 1980, they did not release the hostages until after the election because they wanted to defeat [President Carter]."

Mr. Morris, a political commentator and author, worked as a pollster and campaign adviser to former President Bill Clinton in the 1990s.

It would take away a Romney talking point in their Monday foreign policy debate - to leak this shit 5 minutes before the sunday morning talk shows.

Obama at debates "I've said I'll be meeting with iran to solve this problem in the coming weeks"...

It'll take away the romney point that obama isn't doing anything.  He's opening talks.  Kinda like the way Obama took away the amnesty/DREAM thing and make Rubio irrelevant in about 3 minutes with his bullshit exec order on amnesty.

He's removing this weapon from romney's spank bank, 1 day before the foreign policy debate - and he's finally looking proactive, on SOMETHING.

nope, the argument will be that Obama is negotiating with terrorists.  They hit him hard on this point for the 08 election, in the next days they're really going to lay it on.

I think Obama would point out the list of US presidents (I'm pretty sure every one in recent memory has negotiated with terrorists- Bush2 negotiated with kadaffi, reagan sold weapons to terrorists to get hostages freed, or something like that?) who have done it.

I think romney would not be naive enough to say 'we don't negotiate with terrorists' - Obama would quickly embarass him with a list of great presidents who have done it - and obama would look like the grownup.

you are right - that would be the argument of republican pundits.  Rush would say it.  Hannity and ann coulter, etc.

But logical people know you DO have to negotiate with terrorists.  It's funny - we negotiate oil prices with these terror states all the time  But when we try to deal with their weapons programs with talks, it's caving.  

We negotiated with USSR for decades as they threatened to nuke the shit out of us.
