October Surprise Alert

This from the Boston Globe:

"This weekend -- less than two weeks before the election, typically a time for frenzied barnstorming -- Bush is planning to spend two consecutive nights far from any battleground, at his ranch in Crawford, Texas."

Why would an incumbent president who can't break 50% in favorability polls take two nights away from the campaign trail? I smell a late nigth trip to Iraq. Is this the October surprise? I am not the only one who suspects something is up.
