Should a Terror Attack Change Election Day?
That's the CNN poll just up and while 80% are saying no, I'm amazed that 20% would say yes.
Are we really going to let Osama bin Laden or anyone stop us from casting a vote?
The odds of our being the victim of a terror attack, even in this terrible climate, is exceptionally low. And we know that throughout the world, people risk their lives all the time just to go vote. Sometimes, they have to travels dozens if not hundreds of miles to do so.
If we're willing to put the election on hold, then maybe we don't deserve the picture we have of ourselves as a brave, can-do democracy.
