Please move along. There’s no election here, folks.

Here we go. Tom Ridge is talking about delaying the election if there’s a terrorist attack. We managed to hold elections in the middle of World War II and the Civil War, and we were certainly in more danger then. But let some terrorists blow up a building again, and we’ve got to shut down the whole democracy.

What would it take, really, to make the election impossible to carry out? Wouldn’t they have to bomb many, many polling places? Seems like if they bombed even a dozen or two, it would be no threat to the election overall.

Unless somebody is afraid of losing.
