As they often seem to do, the libs are blowing their wad far to early and will be seen as both hysterical and clueless as to a solution to what they claim are the big problems facing us.
The Republicans will begin their campaign in earnest right after the 9/11 memorial observation by the president. The WOT will be front and center as THE most important plank in their campaign. In the end, all the hysteria and hand wringing by the left will only serve to reaffirm the public perception that in time of crisis they are not up to the job of national defense. They know this and that is why they are trying to turn the discussion away from terrorism towards the economy.
BTTT
And, don't forget, the terrorists have a real knack for bad timing in their attacks. They are bound to give the Repubs reason to win before the election.
