Reply #7: It should

makes me nervous.

The problem is that the BFEE has successfully "demonized" everyone
that lives near SF as being homosexual tree-hugging liberals. The
screed of Hannity and Coulter and their ilk has crept into the
mainstream of the republican party, allowing some repug office
holders to make inane stupid stmts which demostrate their hatred
for everyone in the state (at least near the coast, and not Simi
Valley or Orange County), ESPECIALLY us in the bay area.

So if you believe in LIHOP (and I do), and you believe in Oct surprise
(and I do), then a "terrorist attack attempting to influence the
election" is very likely (even if it's NOT terrorists, or terrorist
working at the passive invitation of the administration). And the
MOST likely target is one where the dehumanized population of liberals
live and work... so my best guess is SF or LA, with a likelihood of
SF. Dirty bomb linked to the disappeared radiological from Iraq
would be the "perfect storm" for the BFEE, solving a number of
problems in one act (link terrorists to Iraq, show * as a "strong
leader on terror", blah blah).
