Radar Online just posted this item: Is famed women’s right attorney Gloria Allred about to pull an “October surprise” on Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney? That’s the thinking, after Drudge Report founder and respected politico, Matt Drudge, tweeted Thursday: “Here she comes. Hearing Gloria Allred out there again, about to make a move. After all, it’s her time of the …
