You are so full of it. What is obvious is that Bush is going to lose in November so you, along with your GOP brethren, are trying to delay this election. I am disgusted. You would upturn our democracy to hold onto your power........heralding the 4th Reich! My God I can't believe what I am hearing.

Totally offbase. I have no intention of postponing the election, nor am I worried about Bush losing in November. It is stupid to not have a plan on what to do if there is a large terrorist attack in the midst of our election process. This is a "doomsday" scenario that would hopefully never happen.

I wonder, say an attack happens on election day, and it somehow keeps a key state from submitting it's electors or there is a problem with them. Imagine that state would have been the difference of Bush losing and Kerry winning. I think you'd be beside yourself about fairness and tampering and wanting a revote etc.

In fact, both sides would. It would be an ideal way to hit us where it hurts. At a minimum it would make the existing rifts wider. This should be obvious to you.

Why did we not need one in prior years? The likelihood of it happening is much greater now after their success in messing with the Spanish elections. Just like it is now clear before that Al-queda wants to use planes for missiles, it is now clear that they have an interest in disrupting elections. We need a plan to deal with both, and it's silly not to discuss it ahead of time.

Your head is in the sand.
