Republicans bracing for 'October surprise' as Gloria Allred 'prepares for Romney revelation'

Revelation: Republicans are bracing for Gloria Allred, pictured, to make a potentially damaging revelation about Mitt Romney, just weeks before the election

Republicans are bracing themselves for Gloria Allred to make a potentially damaging revelation about Mitt Romney, just weeks before the election.

The pro-President Obama lawyer is rumoured to be preparing for her so-called 'October surprise' in which she will strike the Republican presidential hopeful's chances by unearthing some sort of secret or scandal.



Ms Allred has refused to comment on the rumours, which first surfaced in a tweet by the Drudge Report's Matt Drudge on Thursday.

'Here she comes. Hearing Gloria Allred out there again, about to make a move. After all, it's her time of the campaign. Team O at the ready!!' Mr Drudge wrote on Twitter.



According to RadarOnline.com , Ms Allred launched a last minute strike on GOP Meg Whitman's campaign for governor of California by representing a disgruntled former housekeeper.



In the pivotal moments of the campaign, the lawyer wheeled out Nicky Diaz who alleged that she was fired by the Whitman family because she was an illegal immigrant.



Whitman went on to lose the election to Democrat Jerry Brown.



Ms Allred refused to confirm or deny the rumours regarding Governor Romney.

'I have no comment at this time about Mr Drudge's Tweet. I don't discuss meetings with potential clients,' she told RadarOnline.com.

But Republicans commentators are running scared, rallying the troops for a pre-emptive attack.

New York Conservative blog, The Red Side of Life, demanded Romney supporters 'stop her now,' adding 'we're doing too well to risk 'an Allred.'



'Gloria Allred Prepares Anti-Mitt Strike You Can STOP Her Now! (action!) Don't underestimate Gloria Allred's ability to inflict damage,' the website reads.



'The media will 'eat up' anything she feeds them and turn it into an endless scandal. Recall she took down Cain and RINO Whitman with NO EVIDENCE. We're doing too well to risk 'an Allred.' She can be stopped, but it will take action on our behalf.'
