[lbo-talk] Four more years?

[C. G. Estabrook]

I just listened to the end of a Bush campaign speech in Michigan (via
C-Span); he was clearly reading his speech.  He concluded by saying (and
repeating), "We've got four more years to win the war on terrorism." (No
conditionals or preceding clauses like, "If we're reelected...")

Do you suppose their fall-back plans include the ultimate October Surprise
(as in, "Surprise!  You won't have to bother to go the polls next
month...")?  --CGE
