My take on all this is that pressure to institute
martial law will come from the military after another
terrorist attack. If the attack is before the
election, elections are cancelled. If the attack is
after the election, then either Bush or Kerry will
preside over the imposition of martial law.

I don't think it's something that either of them would
want to do. They just won't feel they have a choice.
After Iraq, the military is outraged, and it'll insist
on calling the shots.
