I'm not that optomistic about Kerry.
If he gets elected, it will send a very bone-chilling message to the terrorists - America can be had.
I expect we will be hit again, and again, and again. Hopefully, most of us will survive. But .. what if they manage to hit the capital - it will bring govt to a standstill - while that might be a good thing in some respects - it would not be a good thing.
But .. I don't believe Kerry will be elected. The public may not like Bush .. but reality says Kerry is on another planet if he think he can negotiated with them.
Kerry I think can only win through fraud, which is a good possibility. If he succeeds, we will take some hits, you're right about that. Kerry could be replaced in four years by a hard line candidate who would win on a promise of internment camps and massive bombing campaigns.
