It also may have the effect of keeping Kerry voters home.

That must have been quite a strain on your otherwise excellent brain. You're a better woman than I,Cincinatus' Wife,my old friend...I don't think that I can manage to disengage my brains like that. But,I think that you're right...deep down,everyone knows that President Bush is the ONLY one who WILL keep America safe.

Spin all you want Dems, but this is the end of Kerry's White House bid.

Ha ha ha....

Well, it hit me in the gut so I just imagined what it did for the "undecideds" and soft Kerry supporters.

I'd like to throw up this possibility.

Everyone in America (except many Dems) are security conscious.

But doesn't the sudden appearance of OBL validate Kerry's claim that the war in Iraq was an un-necessary diversion away from the hunt for OBL?

I wondering if the appearance of OBL might make some voters re-think voting for Bush.

Just a possibility I'm throwing out...

Opinions anyone?

Oh,I see.

I didn't react emotionaly,but logically and so I laughed at OBL using Michael Moore's script.The tape is pathetic and OBL comes off looking like a puppet,mouthing words not his own.

Clearly, the bin Laden cameo in the 2004 presidential race has the potential to cut both ways.

Yeah...clearly. Too bad - with flippy's multiple positions on everything - both of those ways are against him.

More evidence of Cronkite's critical "thinking:"
KING: A huge turnout?

CRONKITE: Oh, yes, I do. I think so. The only thing that could damage the turnout would be the threats that might be implied, as many of the new registrees are challenged as to their various things. Their spelling of their name and the state where they really come from, whether they're immigrants or not, do they have passports, all that kind of thing. If they are challenged at the polls, as they line up to go into the polls, they may fear having to answer all those questions. Particularly if they do have anything wrong about them and shouldn't vote.

I agree...my first thought.

How does one spin a tacit endorsement from OBL?

OBL is scared of Bush...of that there is no doubt.

Otherwise, instead of this tape crap, he'd be doing a Spain atrocity.

Course...he will in good time I fear.

We are going to have to kill a lot more of the religion of pieces than we yet realize or are willing to accept.

Beslan demonstrated that all too well.

I would disagree, Steve. This because of OBL's mindset of the Islamic nation or ummah, as well as Saddam's connections with Jihad training programs at Salman Pak, his known WMD programs, and his support of the Palestinian suicide bombers. These four points are perhaps the most salient in the totality of regional, cultural, historical, clannish, and religious interconnections of the terrorist threat.

We should remember President Jefferson and the "Barbary Pirates" of the Islamic Caliphate, the atrocities of the pre-Crusade Jihads, and the Islamo-Nazi connections. Behold: this war is bigger than OBL.

That thought crossed my mind.

I envisioned bin Laden's head on a pike.

For Cronkite, the danger to high turnout is that illegal voters may feel intimidated - by the threat of being caught.

Now that fits in perfectly with the democrat GOTV strategy.

No way! 75% of al quaeda is in jail now because of the invasion of Iraq! Plus that loser saddam is rotting in jail. I think there were definitely WMD's and they were moved before we got there, anyone that believes they were not there needs their brain examined.
