EGG SHELLS EGG SHELLS EGG SHELLS
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 01:37 PM by Demfromct
Both candidates have to walk on egg shells this weekend and that is why everyone is so up tight. OBL tape was surreal.

Here is my view on OBL tape:

Bush Administration tried to kill tape, this is true. Why? Kerry campaign and dems were deflated by the tape. Why? THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A WILD CARD:

B/C and K/E campaign were ready to go into finishing mode, this tape has stopped that on both sides. No one knows the dynmaic, there is uncertainty. If you are a candidate the worst thing to have in the closing in the campaign is uncertainty in the electorate. If you are behind, you know. If you are ahead, you know. No one knows how this is going to play out, and that scares the heck out of both campaigns.

Kerry fears a rally behind the president effect. Bush fears that OBL CONFIRMED alive will have people discuss Tora Bora and the Kerry argument that we took are eye off the war on terror to go into Iraq.

Kerry has made a fundamental decision in his camapgin months ago to say the Iraq war diverted from OBL. I think this tape is more evidence of that point, really what more do you want?. If people belive Kerry, then the OBL tape is a big win. If people are fearful of OBL, then it helps Bush. The effect of this tape may be nothing becuase eveyrone has already dug in.

I don't know what is going to happen. I think this is spin proof, because no americans will believe the pundits.

We'll see. But hopefully,people use their heads and vote for the person with better ideas.
