1. This choice seems most plausible to me...
"Vote is threatened by terrorist attacks, vote suspended due to red alert."

Or a variant of this: A terrorist "attack" on U.S. soil is narrowly averted through quick action by the Bush Administration, which comes out looking like a bunch of heroes just weeks before the election...

2. Osama
I think they will capture Osama. I believe they know exactly where he is and could get him now if they wanted to.

3. "Osama! Osama! Osama is good enough for me!"
To the tune of "Manana", of course!

5. Bush cocaine arrest discovered
the Friday before the election. Won't have as much impact as the drunk driving arrest which came out the Friday before the last election.

I still think the best one ever was the Independant Prosecutor indicting the Secretary of Defense the Friday before the 1992 election.

12. Yes
Except a psycho did storm into a Rep. Congressmans office after that.

Meahwhile when the terror alert went out at the Capitol bld. today thousands of people were evacuated and told to run for their lives.

Jusdy Woodruff said a Policman ordered to take off here shoes and run. She did not so he forcibly detained here until whe took off her shoes.

kinky, hinky and nuts.

btw the cause of the alarm was the private plane of the Fov. of Kentucy.

They continue to sound the alrm at the Capitol bld even now. They say they are resetting it.

17. Yea, by Rudy! I can see this happening.
That would be a tough one for Kerry to handle. People have forgotten how much they disliked Rudy prior to 911. It seems that he walks on water now.

13. Bush launches "Operation Rapture"
Attacks on all Muslim Holy sights. "God needs a wake-up call in the war on Evil" says Bush, "We can't wait to ascend to heaven forever."
