I believe that an attack the GOP Convention would only show Americans that the Republicans are the ones who are truly fighting terror.

Three comments only:

1. Al Gore, increasingly feisty? Sez you!

2. The NYPD is the best in the world, that's why the terrorists hang out in Hudson County, NJ. Terrorist attack on the convention? Fuhgettaboudit!

3. Kevin Phillips is the author, most recently, of "Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich."
A commie-symp. 'nough said.

An encouraging Democratic scenario could include Dean wrapping up the nomination in May or June, gaining battle experience and the momentum of a winner without the GOP having been able to negatively define him with megabuck advertising. Instead, a Democratic drumbeat and Bush indictment could flourish.

Bush will have $170M by May. Does this asshat really think Bush won't spend it. Rove will have Dean defined the way he wants by April Fool's Day. There will not be a splintered convention. That's the hope of Dems because they know that Dean views Clinton and his cronies as highly as he does Bush. Dean's organization is easily 10 times better than any of the others running for the Dem nomination. These stupid analysts haven't figured out how strong that makes him next spring.

Brooklyn, less than a mile from Manhattan, has the biggest concentrations of Muslims in the city. Many of its Islamic neighborhoods became familiar to FBI agents after 9/11. Given the general animosity worldwide toward Bush's policies, it seems quite possible that the authorities, looking to head off acts of terrorism, could antagonize a huge swath of Islamic New York.

One can easily imagine that the FBI and the military will feel they must take extraordinary precautions for the GOP convention. New York City has 130 mosques and dozens of Arab neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan. The Imam Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Queens houses North America's largest Shiite Muslim congregation. In the face of the inevitable crackdown, it's quite conceivable the GOP convention could serve as a magnet for terrorists itching to prove the U.S. president's ineffectiveness.

Yeah, that's a winning strategy for the Dems-- give Bush a chance to give that September 20th speech again. Bush basicly has said that we'd rather fight on the streets of Baghdad than the streets of Brooklyn. It'll make him look like a prophet. "Bush said that they'd come after us and the Dems said that was hogwash. Well, here they are on mainstreet USA trying to kill the president. Martha, they should just level all of the Middle East."

"Democrats may have the first multi-ballot convention since 1952, which could be a disaster or an unexpected opportunity."

Please remember my prediction that the convention will be rigged to 'deadlock' upon which Hillary will be 'drafted' and will 'reluctantly accept' the nomination.

We shall see.

At least the dem convention will be safe from attack, as half the world's terrorists will be attending.

Can't you just imagine the rat who wrote this smoking dope and slowly, ever so slowly typing the words. "Yeah man that sounds good, man. Wow yeah man, a sane person wins our nomination and Bush is embarrassed by the mobs outside the convention hall. Like wow man. What was I saying?"
