If there were a major terrorist event in the US before the Nov. 08 elections...
Which of the top three Democratic candidates do you think would stand up best as our nominee against the Republican/Neo-con spin machine in the general election campaign? While I hope beyond hope it is not the case, it could happen....and the Republicans would attempt to use it to their advantage. So I am wondering who you think would be our best nominee in that situation....and if you don't mind...could you say why. While I'm sure most here know who I support, I am interested in hearing opposing views and arguments for any of the current top 3.

1. If it's a 9-11-scale attack or worse It doesn't really matter.
Rudy McRomnabee will win the election.

9. I don't see why. Two attacks occur under Bush, but the country...
should elect another Repug? Don't see how that would follow.

7. Umm...I know that....
I was hoping to get some opnions from the other two camps as to why they would stand up better than Obama. Can't seem to get any action from the Hillary and Edwards supporters.
