My personal theory is that:
1) They will announce a Sadaam death sentence on Monday here, just enough to motivate conservative justice types to vote, and make people believe we're accomplishing something in Iraq.
2) There will be a HUGE spike in violence in iraq (some are predicting a civil war- link below). And I predict our US media will either downplay it, not mention it, or it will be suppressed from them, just long enough for the polling stations to close on Tuesday night.

A series of crutches to get us thru election day. After that, the news will be focused on the shady E-machines that will allow somebody to steal the election.
That's my guess. What is yours?
