Well, my impression is that the tape will help Bush by refocusing the electorate on terrorism (which is what they should be focused on in the first place). That's why ABC withheld it in my opinion.
For those of you that say it's not a game. Yes, I am afraid that's exactly what it is. A very serious game with deadly consequences, both the election and our War on Terror.
Even though the Kerry campaign is quick to play fast and loose with phrases like "nuisance" and "metaphor", you are absolutely correct. This is a very serious game with deadly consequences. If ABC held this, they should be shut down if not by the government at least by all viewers. I'd really like to know who their "source" is.
