I disagree with most of you on this point.   The bombings in Spain have helped Bush and will continue to help Bush in the future.   The main issue that Bush has in his favor is the war on terroism.   The problem was that Bush did such a good job on it (according to Dick Morris) that people have forgotten about it and no longer consider it an important issue.   The bombings in Spain have caused Americans to remember that terrorism is still out there.   Definately a plus for Bush.

There is another huge difference people are not considering.   Spain gave in to terrorism.   Plain and simple.    Americans are just the opposite.   A terrorist attack in the USA will sign, seal, and deliver the election to Bush in a landslide.   Americans fight back.   Americans don't give up.    They would rally behind Bush as someone to fight back rather than Rally to Kerry who would wafle and leave it the UN

The more the Socialist government of Spain supports Kerry, the better it is for Bush.    Kerry is trying to position himself as a moderate.   The last thing he wants is the endorsement of the socialits. (most of them in the USA will vote for Nader anyway)   The only thing better for Bush would be for Jacque Chirac to support Kerry.    I guess we will have to settle for Howard Dean absurd comments.   (no wonder Kerry went on a vacation)
