Aljazeera is reporting the story, with this interesting commentary:
A quick monitor of web log forums and discussion boards on the Internet reveals that many alternative websites have been discussing for some time the prospect that the Bush administration may postpone elections in a security event.
Some websites are referring to what has become known as the 'October surprise', an event where either a "terrorist attack" hits the American mainland, or, as some politicians like former US Secretary of State Madeline Albright have speculated, a captured Usama bin Ladin is finally paraded on television.

Perhaps the new websites that track hot topics in blogland were set up by or as a resource for mainstream news outlets, and when a story reaches critical mass in the blogs, they report on it.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
