Would an attack help McCain?
"Be honest and open," we demand! But when political people are, as , we pounce.
I agree that a terrorist attack would be likely to help John McCain but with a proviso - one I have mentioned before - that this may well be the aim of the terrorists: they want a fight against an enemy with a bad worldwide image and Barack Obama would present them with a problem.
On the other hand, Mr Obama's anti-free trade rhetoric is beginning to dampen international enthusiasm for him - is dull to begin with, but gets interesting towards the end when the writer begins to address the free trade issue.
Still the Illinois senator motors on, and is a fascinating assessment of the extent of his potential funding advantage (I almost said "going forward" but the term has been banned as a ghastly Americanism by the controller of Radio Four no less), with just a hint at the end that it might not be conclusive but a hint that seems to me to be more in hope than in expectation.
