I think Obama's campaign would be smart to start mentioning the plausibility that terrorists will want to impact our elections. The USS Cole bombing happened in mid-October during the Bush-Gore campaign of 2000.
Bin Laden released a tape a week before the 2004 General Election.
So, we should be prepared to hear from them again in the next month in some manner - and vow that 2008 is the last American election that Bin Laden himself could possibly try to sway.
Someone says more about it.
