Kevin Drum recently posted a study that showed Bush gets, on average, a 2-4 point bump in the polls every time Ridge raises the terror alert level, but that the effect only lasts a week.
From this, we can easily extrapolate that the next "orange alert" will occur sometime after October 25. Kerry needs to launch a preemptive strike against this tactic to blunt its effect. Please use this diary to suggest how he might best do this. Thanks.
