"This is going to give the president a 3-5 point boost by Monday"
Maybe- maybe not- but the fact that three years ago Bush said he wanted OBL dead or alive will be picked up by Kerry and hammered home by his minions and in tv ads.
OBL dead would have been more preferable...I think his tv appearence will have an unstable effect on the electorate.
I wouldn't be surprised if whoever has OBL kills him. Right now he's a leader. He'd be so much more effective as a marytyr.
I shudder at the thought.
