The researchers had already zeroed in on those images and their effect among Democrats on the part of the brain that responds to threats and danger, the amygdala. Mr. Graham, like other Democrats tested so far, reacted to the Sept. 11 images with noticeably more activity in the amygdala than did the Republicans, said the lead researcher, Marco Iacoboni, an associate professor at the U.C.L.A. Neuropsychiatric Institute who directs a laboratory at the Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center there. nytimes.com "The first interpretation that occurred to me," Professor Iacoboni said, "is that the Democrats see the 9/11 issue as a good way for Bush to get re-elected, and they experience that as a threat."

"But conservatives, who play the blame game as well as any, greeted the tragedy with such a cacophony of Clinton bashing..." You really think I was referring to either the GWB thread or your own little vanity thread? Think a little more towards the lines of national impact. Squawk radio for example. Not your pet web blog. My post was a follow-up in agreement to another poster's statement that "With 20/20 hindsight, we can determine what was done wrong and correct future policy for the better" in other words that all this pointing the finger of blame by both sides is impediment to the real debate of over improving national security.
