On the stump in New Hampshire today, Hillary Clinton hints at the possibility of al-Qaida attacking the US if Barack Obama is elected president, as they did when Tony Blair stepped down in the UK. The Boston Globe reports:
I don't think it was by accident that Al Qaeda decided to test the new prime minister," she said. "They watch our elections as closely as we do, maybe more closely than some of our fellows citizens do.... Let's not forget you're hiring a president not just to do what a candidate says during the election, you want a president to be there when the chips are down.
Of course, Gordon Brown was the experienced replacement as prime minister in Britain. And the terrorists still attacked.
