Spain Wasn't the First Election Swayed by Terrorists

Was gulping down the morning's first cup of coffee, listening to Curtis and Kuby talking about what other elections around the globe would be open to influence by Islamofascist's bombs. Curtis said something like, "now that they've shown it can work." Kuby replied, "For a second time. It got Bloomberg elected right here."

And he's right. Bloomberg was a stone loser until 9-11-01. But Rudy, who's opinion neared Beatitude in the following weeks, pointed at Bloomberg and Mark Green got stomped. Sure, Bloomie spent a ton of dough during that campaign, but he was toast before those planes changed everything. A lot of people forget that on Sept. 10th, 2001, Rudy was a lame duck, divisive mayor that the majority of the NYC voters just wanted to go away. He had gotten annoying and we were thankful for term limits. Within a month of 9-11, people were trying to figure out how to scrap the term limits law because both of the candidates scared the shit out of the reeling city. Rudy knighted Bloomberg as his successor, and the rest is history.
