Rovian tactics are failing...

Five weeks before the midterm elections a new tape with Mohammed Atta and other 9/11 hijackers surfaced. It's timing is questionable to say the least given the October 29, 2004 Bin Laden tape that appeared just days before the 2004 presidential election.

The late date of the Bin Laden tape was unlikely to change many minds in the 2004 election, but it's apparent that this recent tape which was found late 2001 in Afghanistan by military forces is being used as an election ploy in an attempt to keep the American people in a state of fear/anger.

The timing is questionable not only because of the midterms fast approaching, but also with the latest scandals and accusations that continue to dog bush and his administration.

In hopes of distracting the American people and garnering more votes this was a pathetic attempt to change the dialogue in the favor of the Republican leadership. It's refreshing to see it not working.
