The threat from OBL is for after the election, not to disrupt the election. If you are in a state that votes majority Bush and he is elected, THEN we will come get you. If you want to save yourself, vote for Kerry.
As to his hope for a second Bush term, I doubt it. He is impotent. Just like his threat against the European coalition members in the Spring that never materialized, this is a veiled threat to dissuade Bush leaning states.
If he had the means, as was said earlier, he would have sent a bomb instead of a tape.
anything more happen in the last hour or so? I had to go out. It looks like snow tonight.
You could be right. That's the way I read it too.
Sure would like to see the translation for the entire 18 minutes.

BTW if the numbers are now going against Bush, that means those polled are just as spineless as Spain and letting this dictate the election!!!
