1) i don't agree with postponing the elections, but from a point of view it does make some sense.

2) i don't think they are talking about postponing to prevent further casualties in the event of an attack. the fear is probably more along the lines of preventing a repeat of spain's election. a couple hundred people die and the election goes in an absolutely unexpected direction. i personally think that if their was a pre-election attack in america it would actually shore up gwb's #'s just because of the collective personality of america. ( america - "you attacked us??? we'll put big flags in our car windows, attack a few gas station attendants, and nuke ya back to the stoneage". spain - "you attacked us??? we'll hand power to the guy who will pull us out so you won't be mad at us anymore"."
that is obviously oversimplified, but you get the point.
