Why does OBL his self, reminding everyone that he got awat at Tora Bora
mean that Bush has the advantage or won the election for that matter?

Spent the last 1.5 hours driving back from out of town thinking about this rationally and I think its foolish to assume this helps Bush. At best, this video drives home that Bush blew it in Tora Bora by outsourcing the capturing of OBL and it hurts Bush. At worst people have already made up their minds at this point and have decided to trust Kerry with the terrorism issue so its a push. I really don't see how this can seriously hurt Kerry.

To think this hurts Kerry is to think that people that were considering voting for Kerry will run home frightened to Bush for protection much like the kids that decided to go run around in a cemetary late at night and thought they saw a ghost. I just don't think that sentiment's out there at this point. I think people have decided Kerry is can provide a satisfactory level of security while simultaneusly getting back to the things that are important to people.

Fortunately, there aren't that many undecided voters really,
we should forget about them and get out the vote --
and make sure those votes are counted!
