I can't help but believe people will walk into the voting booth thinking, "Do I want to lose another war and put up another slab of marble like we did in Nam?, Do I want a tax increase?, Do I want gay marriage?, Do I want to give up hunting and my guns?, Will we ever drill in ANWAR?, etc. I may not like everything Bush and the Repub's are doing, but the alternative is terrifying. Just mine the border, cut spending, drill in ANWAR, and nuke a few key countries and I'll be snug as a bug in a rug.

Most people aren't shallow enough to vote the way their "union" or AARP tells them to. They generally have more than one issue. A terror attack in the states would almost cinch a Repub win in November. The Dems would scream, "You see, we still aren't safe!", but they have no alternative other than to cut and run or negotiate with throat cutters.

...A terror attack in the states would almost cinch a Repub win in November. The Dems would scream, "You see, we still aren't safe!"...

...no, they'll scream that the attack was planned and executed by Rove and company - to affect the outcome of the election...
