I'm not sure I am buying this idea that a terror attack in the US means gives Kerry the presidency. in fact, the higher that terrorism rises on the list of things people are concerned about, the worse off Kerry is.

I agree. I think terrorist attacks in other countries only emphasize the need for strong leadership in our own. And if (God forbid) there was another attack in this country, I think the result would be the same. It seems to me as if the Democratic/Kerry position is that we kind of "overreacted" to 9/11... there were no weapons of mass destruction, we "rushed in," etc., etc. This mindset, of course, requires minimizing the memory of 9/11 (hence all the complaints about the President's advertisements). Sadly, although a lot of Americans seem to think 9/11 was really tragic, their concern seems to be limited to putting a flag sticker in their car and talking about what a turning point it was for them personally, etc., but then within a year it goes back to "but what about me?" Then the focus becomes health care, stock market, and the like, and the fear of terrorism fades. Further attacks, here or elsewhere, illustrate the stupidity of this position.
