First of all this is not an October surprise by the GOP
Reasons being:
1)Al Jazeera released it specifically to influence our elections.
2)Translators around the world know the content/authencity of the tape
Dem Spin:
"Bin ladin is still out there, another Bush Admin failure"
Rep Spin:
"Bush is the terror gladiator, Bin ladin is out there and wants us to not vote for Bush....Should we listen to Bin ladin?"
In my opinion this story does several things:
1) Thank god it completely blew the explosives story out of the picture for the weekend.
2) Brings Bin Ladin back into the picture and ties him to extreme liberals like Micheal Moore.
a) How else did he know about the children, Bush was reading to on Sept. 11? I doubt he dug up the actual news clip. I think he probably popped some popcorn and watched the Fahrenlies 9/11 dvd...in his cave.
3) From the actual transcript, He mentioned Bush more than Kerry throughout the 18minute tape. Yea yea Kerry and Bush will not secure Americans....But its obvious he was saying that he doesn't want Bush in office. The effects of this?
a) Brings back the memories of 9/11- People from states like New Jersey will definitely have this in mind when going out to vote. This state is well in play....and Terrorism is the biggest issue in that state.
b) Brings back the word TERRORISM into the election bid
- Bush has polled in every poll nationwide consistently higher than John Kerry in the category of Terrorism. He leads Kerry in the terrorism category in double digits.
4) Brings an emotional message into America overall.
a) the DNC spin will bring a more rational approach by saying yea,"Bush failed to catch Bin Ladin." Fact of the matter is that him sending a video rather than actually attacking the U.S. says alot about the Bush Adminstration containing the terrorists by fighting them on their turf.
Lets think about this for a second:
- America is not Spain :Not to diss spain in any manner because my mom is from Spain. Our elections are protected and the fact that Bin lading sent a tape and didnt hit us. Imagine if terorists hit us? What will that say about the security Bush has implemented throughout his 4 year term? A failure right? So this tape saws alot about the capacity of Al Queda to attack our country and the job the U.S. Has done to destroy 75% of the group.
- Some Extreme Jihad Liberals might even want an attack to show how "pathetic" Bush has been....which is pretty sad but true.
b) Will the American Public listen to Bin Ladin?
He basically endorsed Kerry...he mentioned Kerry once in the tape and mentioned his hatred towards Bush many times. Who will the American public trust more with the face of Bin ladin back into televisions nationwide across all homes in all battleground states.
The polls suggest Bush strong on terrorism and this plays right into his hands.
overall effect:
Swing voters will now be once more reminded of the big issue : TERRORISM -------Bush advantage nationwide. |

| Dick Morris had the best line so far, borrowed from the guys at National Review: Al Qaeda wanted to influence the Spanish elections, and did so by bombing and mass murder. Now they want to influence our elections. They did so by releasing a tape. They would have hit us if they could. |
