19. Worst case scenario
Edited on Sat Oct-02-04 11:21 PM by sffreeways
would be a massive attack on the troops. I think he could wrap himself in the Flag and revenge and people would get behind him again. If an attack happened here he would be toast.

Kerry could hammer him on deverting the nations attention from homeland security to an unnecessary war in Iraq. That's his weak spot. It was very effective in the debate.

But an attack on troops in Iraq with thousands of casualties from a weapon of mass destruction would be his ticket to a second term. He would say he took the fight over there and saved us from the attack here. He'd say there was weapons of mass destruction after all. He'd say he had to lead the military to exact revenge against the attackers and we need to not change leadership.

It would be horrible.

There is no dirt on Kerry that is going to be an Oct. surprise.

A terrorists attack here won't help him it will crush him

Why order the elections suspended if you don't have to? They are too slick to try this. It would throw the world into chaos. It's all about money and the upheaval would cause to much unrest for anyone to make any money. Too messy in my opinion. These lunitics want this to be the Nazi Germany that succeeds. They want total domination and they want it through patriotic fervor here in this country. I just don't believe they would try any of this Marshall Law stuff. I could be completey wrong but this is my opinion after giving it some thought. The nation just wouldn't stand for it. It doesn't fly. He can't say the American people are strong and he's this invincible leader then let the terrorists effect our elections. He can't take this position.
