Fidhooki, you are quoting out of context. Deliberately.
Late October was already the target of the investigation. Monegan - appointed by the committee (ten republicans, four democrats) actually stated. (Get
that through your head. There is no bias here. A council with more than a two to one majority of Republicans felt that the investigation was necessary. )
Here is the actual quote; and the article to go with it.

French says the McCain campaign failed to contact any of the Senators involved in the investigation during the vetting process of Gov. Palin.
"If they had done their job they never would have picked her," said French. "Now they may have to deal with an October surprise," he
said, referring to the scheduled release Oct. 31 of the committee's final report."
Once again you engage your keyboard before your mind.
You state
"They did accelerate the investigation once she was picked. "
No. The schedule was already set.
Then you go try this route.
"Also
the three democrats that are chairing this have met obama personally
months before the DNC Nomination party. With pictures to prove it. It
was a energy conference they attended btw. "
Yes they were doing a cabalistic meeting on this subject before the investigation was on the radar, and before Palin was even considered a candidate? Are
you trying to engage in satire?
You don't do it very well.
"French said in early September that, rather than ending on October 31, the Friday before the election, the report would be complete by October 10. He
also stated that the report would "likely to be damaging to the (Palin) administration", and could be an October surprise"

So it WAS moved forward. I do understand why they didn't push it back now but asking for an extension
to their mandate might have been a better option than rushing to 'beat the clock' . As for the 'October
Surprise' line I still feel it was wrong to say especially from the 'head' of the investigation committee.Even
if it is a softening of it. Combine that with the appearance of a closer than political relationship with Obama
anything that comes out of this investigation will be suspect.
It's the impropriety or the image of impropriety that I have a major problem with.
Next time try reading and comprehending what was written. Not going off on a 'gotcha'
moment.
