A plan for what? Please explain to me what you mean. It's obvious. A plan for dealing with a terrorist attack on election day. Imagine 9/11 happened on election day. What a mess! What mess? How come we didn't feel the need for contingency plans in 2002 or 2003? Why do the elections have to be postponed? The whole thing is preposterous. Are we to postpone elections because a hurricane hits FLA or an earthquake hits CA? Where does this sudden concern for the well being of our elections stop? Why do I feel like I am in a third world country suddenly? Regardless of who is in the white house, you have to have a plan setup _ahead of time_ to deal with this, or you will have people harping about the very things you are. Of course, you will harp on it anyway b/c it serves your theories. But isn't it fitting that the GOP would want to make this arrangement after 200 years of elections. What success? The Spaniards were adamantly opposed to going into Iraq. Aznar was polling ahead prior to the attack. Show me a link! What I saw is that they were running neck and neck. Al-queda effectively changed the outcome of that election. It did not. Aznar changed the outcome by lying. Why do you ignore the most critical point of that election? He insisted the attack was caused by ETA when it was obviously al Qa'ida. I'm sure they will try that again (though it may backfire on them if they try it here). But how can they.....Bush has made us safe from terrorism. The GOP wants to play it both ways. Even if they don't change an outcome, can you imagine the dividing that would be done if they attacked at all at that sensitive time? Frankly, I think we would need to reschedule the election a few weeks later, but you would obviously disagree. What a mess. 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. ted
