Gee, Thanks A Bunch, Spanish Voters

U.S. Warns Of Al Qaeda Threat This Summer (washingtonpost.com)

al Qaeda operatives are pleased with the change in government resulting from the March 11 terrorist bombings in Spain and may want to affect elections in the United States and other countries. "They saw that an attack of that nature can have economic and political consequences and have some impact on the electoral process," said one federal official with access to counterterrorism intelligence.

This is no surprise to me at all. Just goes to show you that you can't stop terrorism by doing what the terrorists want, eh?

But I think a terrorist attack near the elections here in the US will have an opposite effect.

People see Kerry as a "non-war" type of person and Bush as the "war" president. If terrorist attack again people will want someone who has the balls to stand up to them.

Undecided or weak Kerry supporters would turn to Bush during an election.
