SPRINGFIELD, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain said on Friday he fears that al Qaeda or another extremist group might attempt spectacular attacks in Iraq to try to tilt the U.S. election against him.

McCain, at a town hall meeting in this Philadelphia suburb, was asked if he had concerns that anti-American militants in Iraq might ratchet up their activities in Iraq to try to increase casualties in September or October and tip the November election against him.

"Yes, I worry about it," McCain said. "And I know they pay attention because of the intercepts we have of their communications ... The hardest thing in warfare is to counter someone or a group of individuals who are willing to take their own lives in order to take others."

1. But, but they did in Spain...

(and truth be told you could make that argument)

That said, it is not AQ I am worried about, but McBoo using fear to tip it

2. Ah, yes, the old win/win strategy.

If there are no attacks, its because the surge is working and the voters should support McCain because he was right to support it.

If there are attacks, its because al Qaeda is trying to influence the election and to vote against McCain is to let the terrorists win.
