Regardless of your ideological leanings, it's always worth keeping an eye on potential changes in your nation's election processes: Possibility of Postponed Election Day Raised (USA). Note that no actions have been taken yet, Ridge is merely raising the possibility of requesting this power for Homeland Security in the event of a terrorist attack near the election day.

Couldn't agree more. I don't think the 'threat levels' do anything for the general population at all. They /might/ be useful for the professionals assigned to deal with terrorist threats, and they certainly give the pundits something to jabber about, but does the average person know what do to for each threat level? Do they care?

Except he didn't even raise the threat level. Making it even more obvious it was just a political stunt.

*chuckles* Yes. I rambled off on an entirely different topic, I fear.
