What if another terror attack just before this fall’s elections could save many thousand-times the lives lost?

I start from the premise that there is already a substantial portion of the electorate that tends to vote GOP because they feel that Bush has “kept us safe,” and that the Republicans do a better job combating terrorism.

I’m going waaaay out on a limb here and guessing that if Mr. Shaw knew what I thought of his idea he’d whine that I was “questioning his patriotism.”

And about that, at least, he’d be right.
