"UN News reports that Al Qaeda is planning a big attack this fall to influence the Presidential election. It would influence it all right, but not in the direction they intend. IMO. Americans are more like Israelis than Spaniards." Then it must really be a CIA plot to get Bush reelected!! :0

It would influence it all right, but not in the direction they intend. IMO. Disagree, Nadine. I think an attack in the US designed to influence the election would simply harden positions already taken. I once thought as you did. After presenting the question to a number of people who do not agree with me, I learned that such an event would probably not change how they would vote. It would simply confirm what they already thought, i.e., time for a change, Bush Administration inept, etc. I suppose it could influence the undecided vote, but I really can't say how.
