from where I sit a terrorist attack is highly unlickely to change the way anybody will vote.
I'm not so sure about that. I think if/when we have another terrorist attack that there will be another surge of "patriotism" and further backing of the US involving itself in the Middle East. Even the Nick Berg indicident caused the local radio stations to flood with callers demanding the public stop "whining about the war and get back to supporting our troops and fighting terror". For a few days, people were even shouting that we should continue to torture the Iraqis.
I agree with UT: it doesn't matter who is elected in this race, what is going on will continue.
