A rumor that Democratic candidate for President Barack Obama may have had an affair with a staffer during his run for the United States Senate in 2004, is gaining some traction . According to the rumor, the staffer worked for Obama but was transferred to work at the Caribbean after Michelle Obama complained about the ‘close friendship’ between her husband and said staffer (whose name is Vera Baker, according to the Daily Mail ).

Although newspaper the Daily Mail condemns the rumors as ‘unsubstantiated,’ some believe that there is more to the story than Obama would like. According to these individuals , it is likely that a report about the possible affair will be published in one of America’s major newspapers in the coming weeks, shortly before the elections.

October is traditionally the month in which controversial stories, that break (seldom make), candidates are published. These stories even have a name: ‘October Surprise.’ Historically, this was the month of the year in which some dirt about a specific candidate surfaced and destroyed his career.

Several rumors about Obama that could evolve into such an October Surprise were covered at a variety of websites in recent days. Thus far, however, they are not more than just that, rumors, leading many to the conclusion that Obama’s opponents are throwing dirt at the wall, hoping something will stick.

Interesting about the Baker rumor is that it did not originate from Republicans, but from Democrats. Several individuals who call themselves partisan Democrats have raised the issue, and have talked about it with journalists for the Daily Mail but also, according to the daily, to journalists working for the Los Angeles Times. The story is now also pushed by partisan Republicans who hope that it may cause Obama’s poll numbers to fall, and McCain to rise.

Critics would say that most of these rumors are a symptom of John McCain’s low standing in the polls. Although that may be true to one degree or another, it should be kept in mind that many ‘October Surprises’ were successful in destroying a candidate’s campaign in the past precisely because they were true. Imaginary stories gain less traction and have historically been less effective. Also, many of the bloggers pushing the Vera Baker rumor were also those who accused Democratic former Senator and candidate for President John Edwards of cheating on his wife. The mainstream media did not want to touch the story; the rumor was proven true. Edwards did indeed have an affair, he may even have made his girlfriend pregnant. If he would have been the Democratic Party’s nominee, he would have almost certainly have lost.

However, as is usual in American politics, a lot of dirt is slung around, most of it either entirely false or spun to hurt a candidate, in this case Obama. Whether the rumor about Baker will prove true or not remains to be seen. In the meantime, it would be wise for observers and voters to consider this one of many rumors, nothing more, nothing less.
