| A terrorist incident in the USA would practically hand victory to McCain. The public have been conditioned to think that War hero McCain is tougher on terror than Obama, therefore the Pavlovian response to any attack would be to circle the wagons and "Vote Republican".
I was in Washington DC around the time of the 04 elections and I just remember that there were a ridiculous number of terror alerts and office block evacuations... almost as if the people were being reminded that "we're at war and you cannot change Presidents whilst the country is under attack" | |

I don't know how this election will end. Lot's of things could happen.
A new terror attack which is blamed on Iran (Through Al Quaeda)? Start a war with Iran? The patriot act allows the president to cancel the elections in extreme situations (no kidding). But "Extreme situations" are nowhere defined - the president defines what's extreme and what isn't.
The whole group around the Bush clan (Big oil, Bush clan, Saudis) have so much to lose, and they have infinite resources and power (Including the supreme court). This election will very likely end in a drama.
