If there is a warning of terrorist attack, the White House can exploit it to keep Joe Sixpack home in front of the TV all day on Election Day. Imagine, the streets of your town are flooded with national guard on voting day. HumVees roaring up and down the road, choppers overhead. Would you go outside?
Meanwhile the Republican core constituents put their faith in Jesus...after all, Jesus is on Bush's side...they get to the polls and vote.
Next day-- Gee, the terrorist attack didn't happen. Here's the explanation: Jesus picked Bush to win (again) and since Jesus likes Bush, He stopped the terrorists from attacking. Q.E.D.
But seriously, Bush lost the WTC and nearly lost the Pentagon to Osama and he's had three years to find him. His time's up. I don't see how Kerry could fuck things up worse.
