Poll question: Will a holiday terror attack help or hurt Bush*'s numbers?
after 9-11 we rallied together, Bush*'s numbers went to 80-90% approval, the world was with us

then it fell apart, we retreated to our political foxholes, Bush*'s numbers fell, and the world turned away from us

if/when there is another attack how will this effect Bush*'s numbers?

1. short term boost in numbers
until people start asking questions - most notably more questions about 9-11 and why we still don't have the answers and why Kean is backstepping on his initial comments

followed by questions as to why we left Afghanistan half done to invade Iraq, where is Bin-Laden

then it will be concern/fear as to who Bush* will invade next on more false premises

2. Dunno but, as kentuck asked...
...why the terror alert? Aren't we supposed to be ever so much safer, now, with Saddam in custody?
