One test of whether something has impact is the "Can it happen to me?" test. Benghazi failed that test, because the average voter could say, "Well, I'd never go to Libya (or any Muslim country) under any circumstances, so this couldn't affect me" but this Ebola crisis makes it very, very difficult for the average person to say that they'd absolutely never, ever encounter someone with this virus.

Elections are not often won in landslides, usually there are less than ten percentage points between the winner and the loser, and that means that a shift of a mere five percent of the electorate could very well decide an AWFUL lot of our elections.

Those folks usually vote for whom they fear the least.
