Poll question: Would a terrorist attack help or hurt the GOP in election?
Rumors like this swirled around the 2004 election but Rove ended up just jacking with terrorist alerts and more phony Bin Laden tapes.

But it got Bush close enough to claim he won when they stole it.

Would a terrorist attack help them win?

The Republicans and the McCain/Palin ticket are now a national joke.

3. Remember, if a nuke goes off, Bush set up that Executive Order that would stop the elections
all together. So, in a way, i guess that would "help" the GOP. Our country would officially be over, but that's for another discussion...
