Back to the original topic ... if GW catches Osama between now and the election, it will be viewed with a great deal of skepticism by a great many people.
Yeah, I'm one - but so would a lot of people who voted for him last time. These are ordinary, average folks who don't have the sophisticated world view and understanding of realpolitik of a Mike AI. These are folks who are still wondering "where's the beef (WMD)"? These are folks who remember that triumphant carrier landing and the announcement that major combat ops are over - and are wondering why the fuck we've had more killed SINCE that time than before.
Like it or not, I think an awful lot of people see GW as a profound liar. I think an October suprise might not have the same effect as it has in the past.
