He lives and breathes, but man does he look like shit. Jeeeeez.

As for who this "helps." I think it serves to remind America that Bin Laden and the boys are still out there and still dangerous. From that perspective, it helps Bush immensely. But, Kerry can say, "see, Bush failed to get Bin Laden." We will see how this goes down with the electorate in short order.

Memo to undecided voters: This is not the time to break in a new boy like Kerry/Edwards. Getting them up to speed will be fatal to us.

I'll say it now - this is a nightmare for Kerry.

The key issue in this election is "who will keep me safe". Kerry got traction in the race only when people forgot about 9/11 - that's precisely why he never mentions it in his stump speech, and the President always does.

How do you think New Jersey voters feel seeing OBL on TV? Pissed, I'd guess. The'll want a President who is ready to kill some terrorists, not one who offers a global test.
