I hope that we don't need a "Plan B" for the Presidential elections in case of an attack. I hope that we can prevent an attack if one is planned.
I agree that this isn't anything to blame on Republicans or the White House.

These attacks are tough to prevent. I'm sure that these murderers have something in the works. If not, that says a lot for what Bush has done to them vs. what Clinton did.
If something does happen, it'll be interesting to see how the election plays out. Usually, sitting presidents benefit a lot in the polls during times of national crisis. Could have something to do with the fact that Americans are typically brave and the Spanish I guess were reacting as cowards (that's my own assessment of the Spanish election).
