there is going to be a terrorist attack before the election.-- ProGrocker Monday, October 6, 2008 02:31 PM
Richard Clarke's gotcha covered. He's been all over predicting this exact thing for the clear purpose of taking away the surprise and the effect.
Whatever happens now, the repugs will take the blame, both because it's been publicly predicted and they're supposed the fucking anti-terrorist experts, and because the Obama campaign had a plan for this one complete months ago.
I am certain there will be such an attack, and even more certain that far from hurting Obama, it will give him a 50-state landslide after he finishes turning it back on McCain in a perfect judo move.
In 2004, Kerry was surprised and thrown off by the bin Laden video. This time, Barack Obama is ready with a "look what happened after seven years of bush-McCain anti-terror fighting."
I really, really hope the repugs are stupid enough to try it (with a non-lethal, non-nuke surprise, please FSM.)
