Environmentally, Kerry will keep the Republicans from making things worse. Senate could go Democrat this year. House is possible in two.
I guarantee you that any viable missile attack on American will be successful. First the system still doesn't work. But Bush started installing it anyway (even though he promised not to until it was ready). Secondly, in any fantasy world where it DID work, any non-retarded country would send a volley of rockets to overwhelm.
I'll take the better odds of improving port and border security.
The 9/11 panel seems to think, after spending a damned long time studying it, that a new Intelligence Director is a good idea. So does Kerry and Bush. The difference is Kerry wants to actually make him a boss, while Bush just wants him to be... there.
